El Aziz

Cantine Fina El Aziz 2023 is a late-harvest Sicilian dessert wine made from 100% Grillo grapes. It is produced in western Sicily from fully ripened grapes harvested late to concentrate sugars and aromas, resulting in a rich, aromatic sweet wine with honeyed fruit character and balanced acidity.

Winemaking process

The wine is made from late-harvested Grillo grapes grown in western Sicily and picked at full maturity to maximize concentration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by aging in steel and several months of bottle refinement to develop complexity and balance.

Tasting notes

The wine shows intense aromas of ripe and dried fruit such as pineapple, peach, and apricot with notes of honey, sweet spice, and tropical fruit. On the palate it is rich and smooth with warm sweetness, balanced acidity, and a long fruity finish.

Food pairings

El Aziz pairs well with blue cheeses like gorgonzola, creamy desserts, fruit-based sweets, and mousse or pastry dishes. It also works as an after-dinner wine served on its own.
