Tenute Orestiadi Bahar Zibibbo 2025

Tenute Orestiadi Bahar Zibibbo 2025 offers a distinctive dry interpretation of Sicily’s famously aromatic Zibibbo grape. Rather than producing the sweet style often associated with the variety, Orestiadi crafts a fresh, elegant white wine that combines expressive fruit and florals with a pronounced mineral salinity. It is a modern expression of Sicilian tradition from the Belìce Valley, presented as a Sicilia DOC wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense golden-yellow colour with bright greenish reflections. Its aromatic profile is expressive and inviting, combining floral notes with fresh citrus, ripe peach and yellow melon. On the palate, Bahar Zibibbo is fresh and elegant, with a well-defined structure and a pleasing saline minerality that reflects its limestone-rich soils. The finish is harmonious, persistent and refreshing. Its character is best appreciated while young, when its floral fragrance, fruit purity and lively freshness are at their most vivid.

Production
The vineyards are located around Gibellina in Sicily’s Belìce Valley, at elevations between 200 and 450 metres above sea level. The dry microclimate and pale, sloping soils rich in limestone and gypsum help retain moisture during the warmest months while contributing to the wine’s distinctive mineral character. The grapes are harvested by hand from the end of August, with careful handling to preserve their aromatic integrity. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by three months of resting in tank and a further four months of maturation to develop balance and integration.

Food & Serving
Serve Bahar Zibibbo well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its citrus freshness and saline finish make it an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, seafood salads, sushi and lightly seasoned Mediterranean dishes. It also pairs well with fresh cheeses and vegetable-based starters. Decanting is not necessary; open shortly before serving or pour directly into fresh white-wine glasses.

Producer
Tenute Orestiadi is rooted in the Belìce Valley, one of Sicily’s distinctive wine-growing areas, and its wines reflect the region’s dry climate, varied elevations and mineral-rich soils. With Bahar, the estate highlights the versatility of Zibibbo by presenting it in a dry style, transforming a grape traditionally associated with sweet wines into an elegant, aromatic white with a distinctly Sicilian sense of place.
