Caravaglio Salina Bianco

In the glass

Aroma: white flowers, citrus blossom, fresh apricot, light mineral

Palate: citrus zest, pear, light floral, saline mineral

Caravaglio's Salina Bianco is a dry expression of Malvasia di Lipari: the grape's characteristic floral and apricot aromatics expressed without sweetness, blended with Inzolia for freshness. A charming, mineral everyday white from the Aeolian Islands.

What it pairs with

• Spaghetti con bottarga di muggine (mullet roe pasta)
  Floral aromatics and saline mineral character frame the intense salted mullet roe pasta.
• Grilled Aeolian-style fish
  The wine's island mineral character and floral notes are the natural match for Aeolian fish preparations.
• Caponata di Salina (aubergine, capers, olives)
  Floral freshness and bright acidity bridge the sweet-sour island caponata.

History

Caravaglio introduced a dry Salina Bianco in 2000 to offer a table wine alongside the sweet Malvasia, drawing on Malvasia di Lipari for aromatics and Inzolia for structure and freshness. The wine captures the Aeolian Islands' character in a dry everyday format.
