Another very pleasant wine experience for any-day wine drinking from the distinguished Donnafugata winery in Sicily. (Bonus: use the QR code on the bottle to find an accounting of the winery’s carbon footprint.) Based on the native Cataratto grape, this white blend begins with aromas of straw, peach, orange and pear. A peachy palate follows, then peach skin on the end-palate with just enough acidity to complement the mild fruit. Sip on its own, with medium-strong cheeses and casual dinners.
