Description
Leone Blend 2023 Magnum: the aromatic Sicilian white from Tasca d'Almerita
Leone Blend 2023 IGT Terre Siciliane in Magnum format is a white wine that elegantly interprets the richness of high-hill Sicily. Tasca d'Almerita presents an original and well-balanced cuvée, born from a blend of white grape varieties that combines freshness, aromas, and structure in a modern, versatile profile that is pleasant to share.
Territory and wine style
The origin from selected vineyards between 500 and 900 meters in altitude helps define the soul of this wine, which expresses the brightest and airiest part of the Sicilian territory. The Terre Siciliane IGT designation allows for a free and creative interpretation while maintaining a strong connection to its origins. The predominant Catarratto meets Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer Aromatico, and Moscato, giving life to a white wine with an aromatic character and good tasting tension. Vinification in steel and the absence of malolactic fermentation help preserve clarity, freshness, and expressive precision.
