The vineyards are nestled in the hilly landscape of Trapani. There, the two white grape varieties for this white Borgo Selene wine grow: Catarratto and Inzolia, which are well-known on the island of Sicily. The soil in which the vines grow is rich in limestone and gravel, giving the plants deep roots. This allows them to absorb a great deal of moisture during the warm growing season. This is essential, as temperatures can soar. However, the vineyards' elevated position also allows the grapes to receive plenty of wind to cool them down. When the harvest is ripe, both grapes are harvested separately, after which the winemaker blends them. And the white Borgo Selene is born.
In the glass, this beautiful wine is a lemon yellow with a green shimmer. It exudes aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, and very ripe oranges. The palate is very lively with a delicate mouthfeel, a fresh citrus note quickly followed by nuances of tropical fruit. On the palate, it also offers a touch of green spice and a subtle bitterness, making it an exciting wine for every day. This white Borgo Selene never gets old.
