Caravaglio Salina IGP Bianco
$ 18
Caravaglio's 2022 Salina IGP Bianco comes from the picturesque Salina, one of the sun-kissed Aeolian Islands off the northern coast of Sicily. Famed for its volcanic soils and breezy Mediterranean climate, Salina provides an idyllic environment for the cultivation of indigenous grapes, particularly the aromatic Malvasia delle Lipari. This white wine, under the meticulous craftsmanship of Caravaglio, tells a story of an island where the vines have battled both volcanic eruptions and salty sea sprays to give wines of unique character. The winery's commitment to organic farming and respect for nature ensures that each bottle is a true representation of Salina's terroir.
