Description

The white wine “Selene” is one of the Wine Art labels that Baglio Diar dedicates to Italian literature; it is named after the heroine of Giovanni Verga’s novel “Eros”, a captivating ballerina at La Scala. This white wine is made from 100% Grillo, a native semi-aromatic variety, and comes from the vineyards of Mazara del Vallo, in an area kissed by the sun and by the sea breeze, which gives it a lively salinity, pleasantly enriched by the sweet notes of ripe fruit typical of the grape, making Selene a true speciality of the winery.
The vines grow on very free-draining sandy soils, in a dry climate with often little rain, mild winters and very hot summers. Night harvesting in early August preserves the freshness of the grapes, which are then gently pressed in the winery. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13°C for about two weeks. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 3 months, followed by a further month in bottle.
The result is a bright straw-yellow wine that releases elegant notes of tropical fruit on the nose, such as yellow melon, ripe pineapple and apricot, balancing herbaceous aromas of dill and rosemary. On the palate, Selene stands out for its linear, vertical character, with a lightly structured body and a pleasantly mineral finish softened by hints of apricot and orange peel.
Ideal with baked fish, stuffed squid or seafood pasta sauces, it also pairs perfectly with rich meats and medium-aged sheep’s milk cheeses, enhancing Mediterranean flavours with its fresh, aromatic profile.
