A ripe, versatile and approachable dry white from western Sicily. Floral peach and tropical fruit aromas and a hint of fennel, rounded and gently honeyed flavours on the palate are balanced by lemony acidity. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany seafood, grilled fish, salads and cold white meats.

Set up in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot Wines and Araldica Vini Piemontesi, the leading co-operative in Piemonte. All areas of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese. Working closely with growers and cooperatives, our aim is to produce a range of authentic, well-priced wines from local grape varieties.

The mainstay of white wine production is Pinot Grigio, sourced from the Pavia region south of Milan, Friuli and the Veneto. New projects in the Veneto and Sicily from the 2008 vintage see the addition of Prosecco, Grillo and Catarratto. The reds come from mature, low yielding vineyards in Sicily, Puglia and Abruzzo, the source of some of Europe's most undervalued and characterful wines.
