Cortese, La Selezione Vanedda Bianco, Terre Siciliane, 2016

A surprising and serious style from Sicily that's reminiscent of a southern Chablis. It's made from an organic field blend of Catarratto and Grillo, co-fermented on their skins in old 30-litre Slavonian oak botti to add structure and phenolics. Fresh, tropical-tinged aromas leap from the glass, and there's a beautiful richness on the palate, which boasts depth and structure underpinned by clean, crisp acidity and a touch of spice.
