Zibibbo

Zibibbo

€7,90

Appreciated worldwide and made both in the sweet and dry version, Zibibbo is a fine wine whose production cannot be particularly abundant: as established by the Production Regulations in force, in fact, it can only be obtained with grapes grown and processed in Sicily. Presenting itself to the eye with a vibrant yellow color of gold or amber hues, Zibibbo offers the nose an immediately recognizable scent, in which fruity notes are mixed, with a predominance of apricot, and hints of almond and orange blossom. On the palate, the Zibibbo wine is full-bodied and decidedly sweet. The taste is sweet, soft and persistent: from the initial sweet taste it passes to a fine and aromatic aftertaste that recalls the flavor of dried fruit and honey. In the sweet or passita version, Zibibbo is ideal for enhancing the taste of desserts and ice creams. Perfect to combine with any type of dessert, it offers excellent combinations when paired with Sicilian cassata and cannoli, pastries and cakes in almond paste, hazelnut and pistachio creams and ice creams. Also not to be underestimated is the intriguing mix that comes from combining the sweetness of Zibibbo raisin with savory first courses, foie gras and strong cheeses. The dry variant of this wine, on the other hand, is suitable for aperitifs, but it also goes well with vegetable appetizers and dishes based on shellfish and seafood.
