Zahr

Semi-Sparkling White Wine

\\ Terre Siciliane IGT

€13.29

Zahr is a lively semi-sparkling white wine, characterised by freshness, approachability and conviviality. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by secondary fermentation in pressurised tanks for approximately 30 days, a method that preserves the grapes’ aromatic integrity and produces a fine, delicate perlage. The result is a light, fragrant wine with gentle bubbles that enhance its drinkability.

On the nose, it reveals fresh, fragrant aromas of citrus fruits, green apple and white flowers. On the palate, it is fresh and smooth, with delicate bubbles and a pleasant savoury minerality that makes it balanced and refreshing.

Tasting Notes

Fresh, fragrant aromas of citrus fruits, green apple and white flowers, with notes of lime, orange, acacia blossom and elderflower.

The Territory

Zahr originates in Contrada San Giacomo, Butera, from a blend of indigenous and international white grape varieties that find ideal conditions on this plateau, at an altitude of 350–400 metres above sea level, to express freshness and vibrant, approachable aromas. The medium-textured, loose soil, with light-coloured sands and dark clays, ensures effective drainage and rapid grape ripening — essential factors in preserving the lightness and liveliness that define the character of Zahr.

Aging

3 months on the lees, followed by 2–3 months in bottle before release.

Further Details

At the Table

Zahr is a semi-sparkling wine that doesn’t follow strict rules. It is an excellent choice as an aperitif, paired with savoury snacks, lightly fried dishes and seafood starters. It pairs naturally with sushi and raw seafood, tuna and prawn tartare, and summer salads with citrus fruits and fennel. Its freshness and delicate bubbles make it surprisingly versatile, even with light first courses such as cold pasta and rice salads. A wine to keep on the table throughout the entire meal.

Zahr is the wine of Friday evenings. When the working week is finally over, you uncork something fresh and light, sit back and let your mind unwind. A wine that marks the boundary between work and everything else.
