Leone Blend 2023 IGT Terre Siciliane Tasca d'Almerita

Leone Blend 2023 IGT Terre Siciliane is a Sicilian white wine with an aromatic and lively profile, crafted by Tasca d'Almerita. It is made from a blend of white grapes that combines the solidity of Catarratto with the finesse of Pinot Bianco, along with the expressive notes of Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer Aromatico, and Moscato. The result is a modern, elegant, and territorial white, designed to offer freshness, aromatic intensity, and good drinkability.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from high hillside vineyards in Sicily, at altitudes between 500 and 900 meters, an area that promotes slower ripening and a clearer aromatic profile. The Terre Siciliane IGT designation enhances the expressive freedom of the blend, while the work in stainless steel preserves fragrance and taste clarity. The absence of malolactic fermentation helps maintain the wine's brightness, freshness, and well-defined character, with a clear focus on drinkability.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself as a white with a luminous character, with a bouquet reminiscent of white flowers, light-fleshed fruit, citrus, and both intense and delicate aromatic nuances. On the palate, it shows a balance between structure and freshness, with a savory texture and a dynamic sensation, supported by good acidity. The sip is harmonious, dry, and smooth, with a clean and persistent finish that invites a second taste.

Recommended pairings

This wine pairs naturally with seafood appetizers, shellfish, grilled fish, pasta dishes with vegetables, delicate risottos, and Mediterranean cuisine preparations. It is also excellent with light white meats, fresh cheeses, and dishes based on aromatic herbs. Its aromatic component makes it suitable for slightly spiced recipes, as long as they are not excessively hot.

Serving temperature

Serve Leone Blend 2023 IGT Terre Siciliane at a temperature between 8 and 10 °C, to enhance its freshness and aromatic profile without compromising its substance. If the bottle is very cold, let it rest for a few minutes in the glass before tasting, to better bring out the varietal notes.
