Descrizione

The Grecanico Terre Siciliane IGT Frizzante Ancestrale BIO produced by the Alcesti winery represents an authentic symbol of Sicilian enology, skillfully blending tradition and innovation. This particular expression of the Grecanico grape variety, cultivated using organic methods, stands out for its "ancestral" production method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle without the addition of external yeast or sugar.

The result is a naturally sparkling wine with great character and freshness, featuring a fine and persistent perlage that invites tasting. Visually, the wine showcases a bright and captivating straw yellow color, hinting at aromatic sensations of citrus, white flowers, and subtle notes of freshly baked bread, characteristics that reflect the uniqueness of the Sicilian terroir and the purity of the production method.

On the palate, the Grecanico Frizzante Ancestrale reveals itself as lively and refreshingly full-bodied, with a perfect balance between acidity and fruitiness. Notes of lemon, green apple, and a slight minerality lead to a clean and stimulating finish.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with light dishes, especially seafood, vegetable appetizers, and fresh cheeses, this wine is also an excellent choice for festive occasions, where its natural vibrancy and freshness can be fully appreciated.

Culture, passion, and respect for the environment are fused in this bottle, offering a tasting experience that is as authentic as it is innovative. This Grecanico Terre Siciliane IGT from Alcesti is an exemplar that every lover of sparkling and organic wines should absolutely discover.
