Very nice: The 2015 Sicilia Insolia just made a big jump up in quality. This entry-level value wine is bright and luminous and teaming with energy. It shows impressive purity of aromas with citrus, lime, garden herb and green apple. But it also delivers depth and balance that goes beyond the standard crispness or acidity. In terms of easy-drinking whites, this Insolia offers the full package. Some 160,000 bottles are produced.

Light and straw-colored, boasting exotic fruit, citrus, crushed stone and almond paste. Fruit flavors seem more apparent in the mouth, where the wine has a plush, creamy feel. Imported by Zonin USA. ——M.L.(7/1/2006)—— 87

A crisp and luminous white of medium intensity with a pretty ensemble of stone fruit, pineapple, cut greens and white stone. Coats the mouth, yet has enough acidity to keep it clean. Imported by Zonin USA. ——M.L.(7/1/2006)—— 86

Nutty and round, with plump tropical fruit on the nose and palate. Apple, melon, and spice flavors work well together, while the almond-packed finish is on the mark. Drink soon to enjoy the wine’s balance. It won’t wait around forever.——M.S.(2/1/2005)—— 88
