White Angimbè 2022 - Sicilian Lands IGT - Cusumano Winery

Angimbè, the most famous white of the Cusumano winery

Thanks to its fresh, fruity and slightly aromatic flavour, it is one of the most popular white wines of the Cusumano winery.

It is a combination of Insolia, at 70%, and Chardonnay for the remaining part, two extremely complementary grapes.

Insolia, appreciated for its aromas and citrus freshness, while Chardonnay appreciated for its structure and complexity. Together they create a perfect bouquet that gives great personality to this wine.

This white wine is born in the Ficuzza Estate, in Piana degli Albanesi, thanks to its hot and dry climate alternating with strong temperature variations between night and day, it helps to give the grapes a fine and elegant profile. This territory also contributes to giving it that touch of typical territoriality that makes the wine unique and recognizable.

The grapes are cold macerated for about 12 hours and are then softly pressed before being decanted, always cold.

Then, the must is fermented in steel at a temperature of about 18-20°C.

The wine is then aged in steel tanks on the fine lees for 4 months and completes its refinement for a few months in the bottle.

This wine convinces with its harmony and freshness of taste.

The color is an intense straw yellow with some golden hues.

The scent is intense, fruity and enveloping, with hints of citrus, yellow flowers and exotic fruit.

The taste is soft, warm and enveloping, with good freshness and minerality.

To enjoy it in the best way it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 8°-10° degrees, and it is also perfect to combine with fish, or grilled, or raw in appetizers.
