Description
The *Zibibbo* from Cav. Pietro Todeschi is a beautifully aromatic expression of Sicily’s famed Muscat of Alexandria grape, known locally as Zibibbo. Revered for its naturally perfumed character and luscious sweetness, Zibibbo thrives in the island’s sun-drenched vineyards, developing rich, heady aromatics and concentrated fruit flavours. Cav. Pietro Todeschi, with a heritage in producing traditional Italian sweet and fortified wines, presents this wine as a celebration of Mediterranean warmth and elegance.
In the glass, it shines with a deep golden hue, hinting at its richness and intensity. The nose is immediately captivating—orange blossom, jasmine, and honeysuckle rise from the glass, intertwined with ripe apricot, golden raisin, and candied citrus. Subtle undertones of almond, dried fig, and warm spice give further depth to its aromatic profile.
On the palate, this *Zibibbo* is smooth, velvety, and sumptuously sweet, with layers of apricot jam, sultana, and honeyed orange peel. The natural freshness of the Muscat grape provides balance, preventing the sweetness from overwhelming, and allowing the floral and citrus notes to shine through. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delicate impression of blossom and honey.
Perfect as a contemplative after-dinner wine, it pairs wonderfully with Sicilian desserts like *cannoli* or almond biscuits, as well as with soft blue cheeses for a bold contrast. The Cav. Pietro Todeschi *Zibibbo* captures the essence of sun, sea, and Sicilian tradition in every golden drop.
