Tasting notes

Vibrant, radiant colour, rich in green-golden reflections. The rich fragrance of this Moscato d'Allessandria (Zibibbo) is floral of white roses and acacia, followed by mineral notes, peach and orange blossom, to finish with candied citrus fruits and a hint of honey. On the palate, the olfactory impressions of mineral origin and the fresh structure are confirmed, savoury and enveloping.

About this wine

Donnafugata's Zibibbo Lighea exemplifies the distinctive character of Sicily's native white grape varieties. Zibibbo, grown across the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicilia DOC, produces a medium-bodied dry white wine with remarkable freshness and mineral complexity. This variety thrives in Sicily's warm Mediterranean climate, where limestone-rich soils and coastal breezes create ideal conditions for aromatic, elegant expressions.

The estate's winemaking philosophy balances respect for tradition with modern precision, allowing the pure expression of terroir to shine through. Lighea captures the essence of Sicilian viticulture, a wine of substance and sophistication that reflects both the region's volcanic heritage and its position at the crossroads of Mediterranean cultures.

Versatile and food-friendly, this Zibibbo pairs beautifully with seafood, Mediterranean cuisine, and lighter poultry dishes. Its crisp, mineral-driven profile makes it equally compelling as an aperitif, offering a compelling introduction to Sicily's dynamic white wine production.
