Zoli Inzolia by Caruso & Minini

From the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, the Zoli Inzolia by Caruso & Minini is a symphony of Mediterranean flavors. This wine, with its delicate straw yellow hue and golden reflections, is a tribute to the meticulous attention to detail during its production. The winery, with a history that whispers tales of the late 1800s, is renowned for its dedication to indigenous varietals and the Inzolia grape. On the nose, it greets you with a fragrant bouquet of just-zested lemon, white peach, and green apple, followed by a chorus of fresh herbs. The palate is a dance of intense citrus and herbaceous notes, culminating in a finish that echoes with salted almonds. It’s a wine that pairs exquisitely with the simplicity of a Sicilian “paranza,” the elegance of fish carpaccio, or the comfort of mushroom pasta. Each sip is a celebration of Sicily’s rich viticultural heritage, a lively wine that stands out for its freshness and pleasant notes, perfect for toasting life’s grand moments and everyday pleasures alike.

From the Artist:

In October my husband and I fulfilled a lifetime dream of traveling to Nepal to trek in the Himalayas. We were on the trail for fourteen days, hiking from village to village surrounded by the most spectacular mountains we have ever seen. We made our goal, reaching Everest Base Camp at about 17,600 feet, and it was truly a life-changing experience. Of course, we took lots of photos and for this month’s Art Walk we have selected a few to share that we hope will convey a sense of our incredible adventure. Below is a foretaste of what we’ll have on view at West Seattle Cellars this Thursday:
