Assuli – Astolfo 2018 – Sicilia IGT

The nose offers a small intensity, a certain power and a fine grain. It reveals notes of mandarin, nutmeg and small notes of spices associated with small touches of orangette, hints of lemon blossom and local grove. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, an acidulous frame, pulpy, fat, a certain roundness (in finesse), a good structure and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy mandarin, kumquat and small notes of dried zest combined with touches of butter, dried almond, a subtle hint of spices and a discreet hint of grove. A nice acidulous persistence.
