The Insolia Bellifolli di Valle dell'Acate is part of the new fresh and immediate line that Gaetana Jacono dedicates, with colorful labels, to the baroque masks of Ragusa, a synthesis of Sicilian character and contrasts: beauty and madness, light and shadow. The vineyards are located in Contrada Bidini Soprano and Sottano, in Acate on medium clayey soils tending to compact, with limestone tuffs. The grapes are harvested in the second half of August and vinified in steel, where the wine then undergoes a first aging phase of 4 months, before resting in the bottle for another 2 months before being marketed.

INSOLIA BELLIFOLLI: TASTING

The Insolia Bellifolli di Valle dell'Acate is a bright straw yellow with fresh greenish reflections. It smells of lemon and yellow grapefruit, white peach and tropical fruit, wildflowers and jasmine, and also of thyme and marjoram, all enhanced by saline mineral notes. It enters the mouth dynamically, with citrusy acidity and beautiful sapidity. Excellent both with vegetarian dishes and with seafood appetizers, for example with baked pumpkin, robiola cheese cream and thyme, or with sea bass carpaccio with banana, basil, and green curry (Gianluca Renzi, I Portici, Bologna).
