Sicily At a Glance
Region NameSicily
Sicily is Italy’s southernmost region and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. For more than 2500 years, Sicily (Sicilia in Italian) has been a significant center of Mediterranean viniculture, although the reputation and style of its wines have changed significantly over that time.
Score: 87Vintage 2022Vinous MediaPungent citrus and wild herbs give way to crushed green apples as the 2022 Bianco Salina evolves in the glass. This is more savory than expected, with saline minerality and tart orchard fruits. Tropical melon and mint notes slowly fade as the 2022 finishes fresh and with admirable length.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 86Vintage 2022Wine EnthusiastA sweet nose is headlined by peach candy and ripe apricots with the fizzy citrus of lemon-lime soda. The palate leans into the citrus, but that peach sweetness persists even against an emergent bite of salted grapefruit and lively acid. Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastThe deeply aromatic nose alternates the juicy sweetness of very ripe yellow peach with the savory saline aromas of hot pavement and crushed rocks before the palate turns to a lively citrus medley made bright with bouncy acid, but still savory with a salted butter finishShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Bianco Salina is muted with a delicate bouquet that blends mint leaves with hints of green melon. It splashes across the palate, pleasantly sweet and with juicy acidity, showing crisp orchard fruits and hints of gingery spice. The 2021 tapers off with sneaky concentration, and a sour melon trace slowly fades.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Bianco Salina is coy with an understated display of crushed apples, pears, stone dust and lime zest. It’s silky in texture, contrasted by citrus-tinged fruits, with inner florals amassing toward the close. Hints of nectarine and sweet spice linger through the long, cool-toned finale. The Bianco Salina is an equal-parts blend of Catarratto and Inzolia.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
