Description
What type of wine it is
Tenuta Capofaro's Salina Malvasia Didyme is a dry white wine with the Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) of Sicily. Produced by Tasca d’Almerita, it is made from Malvasia delle Lipari grapes vinified in stainless steel to enhance precision and freshness. In the glass, it presents a straw-yellow colour and a dry profile. A vibrant acidity stands out alongside a marked savoury character, with notes of white flowers, citrus fruits and Mediterranean scrub herbs.
Where it comes from
This Malvasia is born in Sicily, in the territory of Salina, an island that gives the wine a distinctive marine note. The name Didyme recalls the ancient Greek name for the island, meaning the twin island. Coming from this island designation ensures a direct link between vineyard and sea, delivering a natural saltiness.
How it is produced
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness for flavour balance. In the cellar, it is vinified in stainless steel tanks, an essential choice to maintain the fruit's fragrance. To preserve dryness and the acidic backbone, malolactic fermentation is avoided. The result is a clean white, ideal to be served chilled. At the table, it pairs well with seafood starters and crudités, enhancing shellfish, tartare and sushi.
History and curiosities
The name Didyme derives from the ancient Greek name for Salina, which means the twin island.
