Donnafugata "Lighea" Zibibbo Sicilia DOC 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

"From her messy, sun-coloured hair, the sea water dripped onto her wide-open green eyes'. This is how Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa describes Lighea, the bewitching mermaid who is the central character in one of his stories. This fascinating character inspired Donnafugata to create this wine, which is both complex and innovative. Lighea is an intriguing aromatic Mediterranean wine, son of a dry vinification of Zibibbo grapes, that is Moscato di Alessandria. Brilliant straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, the nose offers a rich and fragrant bouquet, where the classic notes of orange blossom are combined with hints of citrus and sweet exotic fruit.
