ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cantine Colosi
Salina Bianco
This is a breezy wine that can transport you to a Mediterranean island. Sourced from Inzolia and Catarratto grapes, this wine fully encapsulates the area thanks to the volcanic soils' characteristics, rich in magnesium and potassium, the lack of water, and the intense sunshine. It is a white wine of great distinction, with strong hints of ripe fruit and exotic fruits. The wine has the typical sensations of the Mediterranean with intense flavors of white peach.

WINE REGION:
Sicily
Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cantine Colosi
On Salina, an island in the volcanic Aeolian archipelago, amidst the fragrances of the Mediterranean scrub and the breath-taking views, the Colosi family cultivates vineyards on terraces overlooking the sea and produces unique wines that reflect shimmering light, wind, sun, and color. With its 10 hectares of vineyards between Capo Faro and Porri, Colosi is one of the island's most representative producers. The area is considered one of the best because of its exposure and the chemical-physical characteristics of the volcanic soil. The vines were planted on terraces, restoring the old drywalls. They include grape varieties typical of Mediterranean island winemaking: Corinto Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese, Inzolia, Catarratto, and Malvasia. Malvasia is, without doubt, the most important vine variety of the island and of the Colosi company.
