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 / Sicilia

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.
