Tenuta di Castellaro, Bianco Porticello 2020

Tenuta di Castellaro calls the tiny, 2000 square metre island of Lipari, just off the coast of Sicily, home. Wanting to create a pure expression of the volcanic territory of Aeolian Islands, winemakers Massimo Lentsch and Stefania Frattolillo made their dream into a reality in 2005. Tenuta di Castellaro is now one of Lipari's most celebrated wineries. Porticello 2020 is made from a blend of 60% Carricante and 40% Muscat, and named for the beach small beach near the vineyard where the pumice quarry workers would have an after-work drink. Trained on bush-vines, the wine has a nose of blossom, sage, green apple, and lemon move to a bright palate with balanced acidity and a nice salty mineral finish. Like summertime in a glass; it's a great wine to pair with seafood.
