Baglio del Cristo di Campobello Adenzia Bianco

In the glass

Aroma: white peach, citrus blossom, almond, herbal

Palate: stone fruit, lemon, almond, mineral finish

Adenzia Bianco blends Grillo and Inzolia from Baglio del Cristo's chalky Agrigento limestone soils: the combination yields a fresh, almond-citrus white with the mineral depth that characterises this distinctive terroir.

What it pairs with

• Sicilian seafood couscous
  Almond-mineral notes in the wine echo the almond-rich Sicilian couscous tradition.
• Grilled prawns with lemon and herbs
  Fresh acidity and citrus blossom complement chargrilled shellfish.
• Caponata fresca with almonds
  The wine's almond character bridges the sweet-sour vegetables and toasted almonds in caponata.

History

Baglio del Cristo di Campobello's Adenzia range, named in Sicilian dialect, covers the estate's entry-level whites and reds. The Bianco blends the estate's Grillo and Inzolia from their calcareous chalk soils near Agrigento, 8 kilometres from the sea.
