Arancio Dalila Bianco offers a union of indigenous Sicilian varietal Grillo (a grape that's fed on the richness of the land and climate of this fantastic island for centuries!) and the international Viognier, coming together in a harmonious blend that's like sipping the sunlight and richness of Sicily! This wine has intense aromas of tropical fruit and jasmine, with delicate notes of peach, apricot and citrus lifted by beautiful hints of wildflower and fresh honey. Elegant and rich in the mouth with lovely vanilla undertones. A friend to all kinds of seafood: try it with local favourite seared scallops with glass noodles, or spaghetti with clams and garlic. Fun fact: the music notes on this bottles sing a song of Dalila and Cantodoro, a young heiress and a worker on her family's farm who are deeply in love – and every night he serenades her! Try Cantodoro here.
