The 2020 Secca del Capo is sweetly scented with exotic florals, green melon and candied ginger. It’s soft and round in feel, complemented by notes of ripe peach and hints of banana. This tapers off to freshness and a tropical flourish of mango and papaya. The Secca del Capo, a varietal Malvasia, is a fruit-forward, highly pleasurable, yet also nicely balanced effort. ...

Here's a new dry white wine from a young producer who interned with the Tasca family and farms on the main island of Sicily and on the satellite island of Salina. The vines are located on a little ledge that hangs out to sea near Capo Faro. The Cantine Colosi 2020 Secca del Capo is an easygoing and luminous expression of Malvasia with soapy floral aromas, tropical tones and a hint of latex or natural rubber. There is a hint of something almost exotic, with candied orange peel or sweet almond blossom.

White rose, exotic fruit and Mediterranean scrub aromas form the nose. The round, medium-bodied palate offers passion fruit, white peach and a hint of vanilla alongside fresh acidity.

Region: Sicily

Sicily has been an important wine region for thousands of years, with the ancient Greek settlers being among the first to discover its remarkable aptitude for viticulture. It isn't difficult to understand why they were impressed, and nor is it hard to understand why the island's wine industry continues to boom to this day. The climate on Sicily is ideal for wine production – sunshine beating down on the vineyards almost all year round, and a highly fertile volcanic soil produced from such magnificent peaks as Mount Etna. Sicily's vineyards are mostly used for the production of sweet dessert wines and fortified wines, such as the famous wine of Marsala, but the variety found across the island is impressive, and results in a great range of dry white and red wines packed full of exciting fruit flavors.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
