Colomba Platino 2022 Insolia Terre Siciliane IGT - Duke of Salaparuta

Colomba Platino white from Inzolia grapes of the Risignolo estate - Duca di Salaparuta

Fresh white wine from Inzolia grapes, produced in the Risignolo estate of Duca di Salaparuta, near Salemi, in the province of Trapani.

In this area of ​​Central-Western Sicily, characterized by marvelous expanses of fields beaten by the warm Mediterranean sun, wine is a constitutive element of a great cultural tradition and the vineyards, caressed by a light brackish breeze, follow the profile of the hills until they reach the sea.

The clayey soil rich in humus, which has always been suited to wine production, and the hot-arid climate, with a strong temperature range, allow white grapes such as Insolia to give their best.

The result is a white wine that needs no introduction: the Colomba Platino.

With a brilliant straw yellow color with greenish reflections, the white Colomba Platino expresses the territory from which it is born with unique qualities of delicacy and aromatic intensity.

With an intense, pleasantly fruity aroma, with a remarkable character, Colomba Platino has a fresh, harmonious and persistent flavor, which makes it perfect for combinations with vegetarian dishes, shellfish, seafood and others based on fish.

Try it with courgette flowers in batter with cheese and anchovy filling
