Augustali Contrasto del Bianco Vermentino 2017
The company's vineyards stretch across the gentle hilly landscape between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo in the centre of the Gulf of Castellammare. From the interpretation of a unique terroir come the Contrasto wines, named after the poetic style of Ciullo d'Alcamo and his famous Rosa Fresca Aulentissima. A wine of great amplitude and elegance, pleasantly citrusy with notes of balsamic Mediterranean herbs and saline returns. Excellent acidity and a very persistent finish.

Colour

Straw yellow with greenish reflections.

Bouquet

Yellow flowers with citrus notes, and delicate hints of balsamic Mediterranean herbs.

Flavour

Tasty, balanced and harmonious.

Pairing

Excellent with fish dishes, including elaborate, white and fresh meats cooked with citrus fruits (lemon chicken). Its freshness also makes this wine ideal as an apéritif.
