Canada Day Wine Pairing
4 Pack Mixed Case
Okay, so we didn’t put together an all Canadian wine box for Canada Day, true. But, the immigrant experience is central to Canadian identity and we have chosen a place near and dear to our immigrant hearts to celebrate: the amazing Island of Sicily and a pack of wines the from legendary Gulfi, including:
Valcanzjria, TERRE SICILIANE IGT GULFI, 2019 SICILY, ITALY
Organic. Blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Sicily’s indigenous grape Carricante (40%). Delicate, light but expressive white wine with hints of apple and exotic fruit, supported by a crisp acidity. Long, complex finish of anise and fresh almond.
Rossojbleo, Sicilia DOC GULFI, 2019
Organic. 100% Nero d’Avola. Vinified only in steel tanks, Rossojbleo is fresh, with lively acidity and characteristic notes of red fruit, flowers, dried herbs, and a spicy touch. It displays soft-but-present tannins. This lighter version is easy to approach and constitutes a great alternative to the richer Nerojbleo.
