The 2024 Zagare Vermentino Terre Siciliane IGT is a vibrant Sicilian white that captures the fresh Mediterranean character of Vermentino grown on the island's sun-drenched west coast. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and briefly aged on fine lees, the wine retains its bright fruit while gaining subtle texture. The nose is fresh and aromatic, offering ripe stone fruit, preserved lemon and white blossom, lifted by delicate floral notes and a hint of sea-breeze minerality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and an appealing, rounded texture. Flavours of apricot, citrus peel and grapefruit pith are complemented by a gentle mineral edge and a savoury finish, creating a refreshing and well-balanced wine that is both elegant and easy to enjoy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Zagare Vermentino Terre Siciliane IGT is a wonderfully versatile white that pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, calamari, fresh oysters, seafood pasta, Mediterranean salads or light vegetable dishes. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity are at their best.
