Yet another seemingly obscure variety, Inzolia I found out has long grown in Sicily and until recently was primarily a table grape and sometimes a component in Marsala. But several producers are giving it a fresh start as a varietal wine and the Sallier de Tour winery aims for a light, refreshing aperitif style. Pale yellow, it offers definite peach and orange blossom fragrances. It is medium light bodied on the palate with lively citrus flavors with added notes of jasmine and orange peel. Light and crisp in the finish and pleasant overall.
