Exotic from the first tilt of the glass, the 2024 Zibibbo Lighea bursts with a blend of kiwi and tropical melon complemented by minty herbs and a spritz of lime. Zesty and energetic, it offers ripe green melon and spices propelled by juicy acidity, while a subtle tinge of crisp minerality adds a lovely crunch toward the close. The finish is savory, with cheek-puckering tension and citrusy concentration that calls the taster back for more.

The nose opens with floral, delicate aromas of jasmine, lilies, mandarin blossoms, candied lemon peel and apricot, then turns savory with herbs and spices. White peaches, grapefruits and almonds star on the palate before giving way to a salty, nutty finish. A reliable favorite and a great way to get familiar with Zibibbo.
