Description
Fabrizio Vella Bianco Organico
This natural wine has a complex nose of citrus fruit, lemon zest and citrus blossoms along with hint of tropical fruits, herbs and sweet spices. Fresh, crisp and lovely minerality on the finish.
Fabrizio Vella is a passionate winemaker living and working in Sicily. Proud of the island that he calls home hee wanted to create a wine range that was personal to him, that reflected where he was from. Working with indigenous varieties of Cattaratto and Nero d’Avola he conjured four wines using an organic approach and careful winemaking to create wines that are fresh, exciting, moreish and true to their origin. A Sicilian wine through and through.
Harvested by hand, the yields are naturally restricted by the winds and climatic conditions on the island and average around 80 quintal per hectare. The vineyard sites are situated at an altitude of 350-450m, ensuring cooler night time temperatures which preserve crucial acidity in the grapes. Wines tend to be harvested earlier than many of their neighbours and consequently they are bright and fresh with clean fruit flavours.
The first pressing is fermented in 50hl acacia wooden barrels. Soft pressed again, with a second fermentation in stainless steel for 14 days where malolactic fermentation takes places.

Charles Salt –
This wine was a lot better than I anticipated! On the nose it was quite complex really with a pretty strong flavour of citrus fruits, good with fresh seafood I would suggest needs a dry cheese with flavour.

Thanks for your comments Charles!
Vicky Heslop –
Outstanding wine for the price. Perfect aperitif midweek. Subtle yet complex – plenty going on – with a lovely texture.
Looking forward to trying the red.
Cheers!
