2022 Cantine Barbera Inzolia Tivitti - Menfi, Sicily, Italy (750ml)

At her family’s winery on the outskirts of Menfi, a Sicilian seaside village bisected by the Belice River, third generation winemaker Marilena Barbera produces beautiful sustainably farmed wines from indigenous varietals. Her Inzolia (aka Ansonica), is a crisp, clean, refreshing white that’s fermented with indigenous yeast and bottled with minimal sulfites. Pale in color with a tinge of greenish gold, this is an intense, yet light-bodied white that’s herbaceous with a whiff of almond blossom, lemon and stone fruit flavors, salinity and minerality. Pair with anything from a tomato based Sicilian seafood stew to eggplant Caponata.
