The 2010 Zagra is an unoaked blend of 70% Grillo and 30% Inzolia that totally conquers the palate with its finessed personality. Juicy apricots, peaches and jasmine are just some of the nuances that linger on the multi-dimensional finish. When Sicilian whites are on they can be stunning, as is the case here. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This is a superb set of wines from Valle dell'Acate. Not only are the wines delicious, the best bottles deliver incredible value as well. The estate uses only their best hillside plots for the Valle dell'Acate label, while the vineyards in the plains are used for the entry-level Case Ibidini range. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.

Zagra means “citrus blossom” in Sicilian dialect and the Grillo that carries this proud name is indeed packed tight with bright floral aromas. It also boasts mango, peach and white almond skin. ——M.L.(4/1/2012)—— 87
