Insolia 'Bellifolli' Valle dell'Acate 2023

Sicilia DOC Bellifolli Insolia is a pleasant and easily approachable label produced by Valle dell’Acate, a renowned winery in the Ragusa area that cultivates 80 hectares of organic vineyards. Among the numerous territorial wines offered, Bellifolli represents the line dedicated to young people, due to its simplicity of drinking and its linear and accessible character, for those seeking a taste of Sicilian wine products without excessive commitment. Inzolia, known as Ansonica in the rest of Italy, is one of the most widespread white grape varieties in Sicily. For a long time, it was "relegated" to the role of blending grape for Marsala, but today it has established itself as one of the most well-known and appreciated Sicilian grape varieties, and more and more often pure versions are found that enhance its intrinsic quality attributes.

The Valle dell’Acate Bellifolli Insolia is vinified from only Inzolia grapes, cultivated in medium-textured soils with the presence of calcareous tuffs. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature, in order to preserve freshness and varietal aromas. The maturation also occurs in stainless steel tanks for a period of 4 months, followed by an additional 2 months of refinement in the bottle.

In the glass, the Insolia Bellifolli from Valle dell’Acate is straw yellow with delicate greenish reflections. The nose releases inviting hints of yellow-fleshed fruit, peach, cedar, fresh citrus, and white flowers that combine with notes of Mediterranean herb essences. Very fresh, fragrant and easy to drink on the palate, with a marked savory character. A Ragusa white for everyday use, ideal as a refreshing aperitif with friends, perhaps under the sunset on a warm summer evening.
