About this wine
A great white wine from southern Italian grapes, able to compare with the world’s great white wines; this was the initial project. Thus began the experiments with Fiano, an ancient noble variety from Campania, in the 1990’s. And so Cometa was born, expressing the best in an original and unique way, of the characteristics of this extraordinary vine. Intense and fruity aromas, its great structure and minerals today make it one of southern Italy’s points of reference for white wine.
After picking by hand, the grapes are stripped of stalks and sent to the press. 90% of the wine is fermented in stainless steel and 10% in 225 litre barrels. After five months of maturation on fine lees, the wine is blended and prepared for bottling.

Tasting note
A fragrant dry white wine. While Fiano comes from Campania; this is a Sicilian incarnation, all citrus, tropical fruit, pink grapefruit and wisteria, shows it’s a good traveller. That time on fine lees gives this wine a silky creamy texture and spicy flavours.
Food pairing suggestion
An excellent partner for full flavoured starters, fresh goats cheese (especially Sicilian!) or rich seafood. In Sicilian cuisine it is paired with oranges, fennel and anchovy salad, stuffed sardines, spaghetti with seafood, lobster or pasta with Trepan ‘pesto’.
