2024 Mary Taylor Sicilia Bianco “Clara Sala”, Sicily, Italy
There are 9 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
This elegant Sicilia Bianco is a blend of native Sicilian varieties—primarily Grillo, with smaller portions of Catarratto and Inzolia—sourced from organically farmed vineyards near Menfi, on Sicily’s southwest coast. Grown on calcareous and sandy soils under strong diurnal shifts and marine breezes, the grapes are harvested early to retain freshness and balance.
Vinified entirely in stainless steel, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and is aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture without sacrificing vibrancy. The result is a dry white that reflects the sun-soaked terroir while maintaining a lean, mineral spine. Ideal with grilled seafood, lemony pastas, caponata, or fresh cheeses, this wine thrives at the intersection of freshness and complexity.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Clara Sala cuvée is part of the Mary Taylor Wines collection—a project dedicated to championing regional European wines from small, family-run producers who farm responsibly and express their local terroir with authenticity. This bottling is made in partnership with Cantine Barbera, a respected organic winery in Menfi run by Clara Barbera Sala herself, a pioneering voice for sustainable viticulture in Sicily.
Clara’s commitment to biodiversity, minimal intervention, and cultural heritage aligns seamlessly with Mary Taylor’s ethos: demystifying European wine while honoring its roots. Together, they produce a Bianco that embodies the Sicilian coast—sunny, honest, and shaped by land and sea.
