Cantina Orsogna Zibibbo

Cantina Orsogna, Italy's largest organic producer since 1964, crafts Luna Gaia Zibibbo from the world's rarest grape variety. Zibibbo, the local name for Muscat of Alexandria, dates back 5,000 years to ancient Egypt. Brought to Sicily by Phoenicians, it serves triple duty: wine grape, table grape, and raisin. Luna Gaia wines honor L'Opera dei Pupi Siciliana, UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The wine tells stories through Italian Epic poetry beautifully.

Nose: The nose opens with enticing aromas of mango, peach, and nectarine that feel tropical and inviting. Floral notes emerge, adding elegance and complexity. The bouquet remains rounded and balanced throughout.

Palate: The palate delivers off-dry character with mango, peach, and nectarine flavors that feel beautifully rounded. Crisp acidity balances the wine's sweetness perfectly, providing freshness. The wine maintains elegance despite its rounded character.

Finish: The finish remains rounded and elegant with lingering stone fruit notes that fade pleasantly. Salty minerality persists, providing balance and freshness. The overall experience showcases Sicily's terroir beautifully.

Serve this rounded Zibibbo with spiced fruit tart and vanilla cream to highlight its stone fruit and sweetness beautifully. Panna cotta with peach sauce complements the wine's tropical character and rounded sweetness perfectly. Mild, creamy cheeses bring out the wine's floral character and mineral finish.
