Colomba Bianca

2022 Nerello Mascalese ‘Lavi’, Colomba Bianca

Sicily, ItalyVintage: 2022

The wine is made from the native variety Nerello Mascalese, an historical Sicilian variety which is typical of the Etna area and is renowned for producing wines with an intense aromatic bouquet and a vibrant body.

This 2022 Nerello Mascalese ‘Lavi’ is warm, soft and fascinating.  In the glass aromatic notes of rose petals are complemented by wild strawberry and raspberry. The palate is light-bodied, with soft, enveloping tannins through to a long, smooth finish.

This is a great wine for matching with cold cuts and cheese, red meat-based main courses, grilled veal, roast chicken and game.

Description

Established in 1970, Colomba Bianca is the largest Sicilian grower cooperative and the biggest Italian producer of organic wine, with more than 1,800 hectares dedicated to organically farmed vines. Colomba Bianca also has a further 7,500 hectares of vineyard, growing indigenous and international varieties. Despite their size, they engage a philosophy of micro-viticulture and micro-winemaking to ensure the ultimate precision, quality and expression of terroir. The stunning range of single variety and innovative blends are tailor-made under the watchful eye of head winemaker Mattia Filippi. Dynamic and passionate, the Cantine is constantly evolving with investments in the vineyards and in the technology of their five specialist wineries. With their sights firmly fixed on the future of Sicilian wine, Colomba Bianca is rapidly becoming one of the leading names in organic winemaking in Italy.

The grapes were hand-harvested into 15 kilogram crates to preserve the quality of the fruit and carefully selected. Skin-contact maceration took place at temperatures of 25°C in stainless steel tanks for eight to 10 days, in order to ensure a good extraction of anthocyanin and aromas. The wine was vinified without the influence of oak to ensure the varietal characteristics were fully expressed.
