Early on it did not seem as if any of Pietro Caciorgna’s children would take up his passion for running the modest farm. But his son, oenologist Paolo Caciogna, took up the reins several years ago and built this small jewel of a winery, which has garnered international acclaim. One sip of this blend of local varietals Carricante, Catarratto, Inzolia, Minella will explain why. Fresh and delicately floral on the nose, with notes of flint, graphite and smoke, the wine is lively and balanced on the palate. It’s so easy to drink, you might forget the great winemaking at work. Pair with light pastas, grilled fish and shellfish, veggie mains, and more.
