NV Alileo Wines "Zibibbo Macerato", Sicily, Italy 1.5L BOX
There are 16 units left in stock.
ABOUT THE WINE
Produced from Zibibbo — the Sicilian name for Muscat of Alexandria — this skin-contact white wine highlights the grape’s naturally intense aromatics and Mediterranean character. Grown under Sicily’s warm coastal climate, the fruit develops concentrated flavors while retaining freshness through cooling sea breezes and mineral-rich soils.
During vinification, the grapes undergo a period of maceration on the skins, giving the wine added texture, depth, and subtle amber tones while enhancing its aromatic complexity. The result is a wine layered with notes of ripe peach, dried citrus peel, jasmine, spice, and herbal undertones, supported by lively acidity and a gently structured mouthfeel.
Fermented primarily in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness, the wine balances exotic fruit with savory minerality and light tannic grip. The convenient 1.5L box format maintains freshness after opening, making it ideal for casual gatherings and adventurous everyday drinking.
Serve lightly chilled alongside roasted vegetables, North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, grilled seafood, soft cheeses, or spiced poultry dishes.
