The ample and round bouquet opens with aromas of candied fruit. On the palate, the sweetness is well balanced by crisp acidity and a touch of mineral notes.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Ottoventi with its 40 hectares of vines, is located just outside Trapani in north-west Sicily, and is owned by Antonio Mazara, an accountant with a passion for viticulture and wine-making. After having supplied well-known Sicilian producers with his grapes for many years in 1996, Antonio, with the help of his children Sara and Francesco, chose the
lonely route to quality, deciding to grow and vinify the fruit himself inhouse. They chose the name Ottoventi - which translates as 'eight winds' - as a symbol of the many winds that blow from all the directions on the coast in this part of Sicily delivering the perfect
conditions for healthy grapes production. Ottoventi is now fully converted into organic agriculture.
