As we mentioned, this white Didyme is made from Malvasia grapes grown in sunny Sicily. In the old vineyard, harvesting is a precise process. If the grapes ripen too long, they develop too much sugar, so the harvest for this Didyme is brought in very early. Harvesting the Malvasia grapes begins in the middle of the night. This is done to allow the grapes to rest and minimize damage during transport.
This Malvasia grape grows in a warm climate, perfectly suited to Sicily. But they also receive plenty of coolness from the sea breeze and nighttime temperatures, which is essential for making a refreshing wine from this grape. The aroma is a very lively white wine, with intense notes of flowers, apricots, yellow plums, and wax. But above all, it's intense and powerful, which makes it truly special. The ripe notes continue on the palate, crisp and dry with aromas of ripe pear, yellow plums, and lovely acidity. A powerful dry white wine that pairs wonderfully with shrimp, vitello tonato, and risotto, among other dishes. But don't forget shellfish and crustaceans, as this Didyme wine also pairs perfectly with them.
