Sicilia DOC Zibibbo Lighea 2023 Donnafugata

Lighea was born in the splendid vineyards of the Sicilian Donnafugata company, located in south-western Sicily and on the island of Pantelleria. The name takes up the bewitching siren of a story by Tomasi di Lampedusa, a character who seems perfectly personified in this wine.

It is entirely produced with Zibibbo grapes, harvested and selected during September from vineyards located in the coolest districts. The wine, after fermentation at controlled temperature, ages in steel tanks for a few months, before being bottled.

It has a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose brings elegant and refined floral hints of orange blossom, rose and geranium, to which are added fruity citrus notes. In the mouth it is fresh with an interesting savory vein that accompanies towards a citrus finish.

It combines divinely with blue fish and fried fish.
