Tasting Notes: From Sicily comes this fresh, pleasantly dry white with good weight, plenty of warm citrus, and a streak of minerality. True to it's maritime origins , the finish has a touch of salinity.

Producer: Sicily’s winemaking history stretches back millennia, and Cantine Madaudo is deeply rooted in this tradition. Founded in 1945, the estate has built a reputation for crafting wines that highlight the island’s diverse terroirs, from the sun-drenched hills of Alcamo to the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. Alcamo Bianco, historically one of Sicily’s most celebrated white wines, is seeing a revival, thanks to producers like Madaudo, who emphasize quality and site expression. The winery blends innovation with tradition, ensuring that each bottle reflects both the island’s rich heritage and its modern potential.

Vineyard & Winemaking: The vineyards for this Alcamo Bianco lie in western Sicily, where limestone-rich soils and Mediterranean breezes create the perfect conditions for vibrant, aromatic white wines. While distinct from the high-altitude, volcanic-influenced whites of Etna Bianco DOC, this wine shares a similar philosophy—expressing the purity of indigenous Sicilian grapes with minimal intervention. The region’s warm days and cool nights preserve freshness and complexity, resulting in a wine that is both refreshing and deeply rooted in Sicily’s winemaking legacy.
