Citrus, peach and yellow melon over a salty, limestone-driven freshness. It grows at 200 to 450 metres on the white-clay hills of Gibellina and spends three months in steel with no oak. A dry, light-bodied Sicilian white built around aromatic lift rather than weight.
Citrus and orange blossom open first, the Sicilian-lemon lift the producer describes. Then peach and yellow melon open. A faint white-flower and jasmine note follows, with a chalky edge that traces back to the limestone-and-gypsum soils of the Gibellina hills.

Wet stonesThis is dry and light-bodied at 12.5%, with brisk citrus acidity and a savoury, salty grip that the white-clay soil lends. Three months in steel and no oak keep the fruit, peach and melon over green apple, clean and unmasked. It reads as fresh and balanced from the first sip to the last.
The finish is medium length. It closes on lemon pith and a wet-stone note rather than weight or warmth.
This is a dry expression of pure Zibibbo from Tenute Orestiadi's La Selezione range, its winemaking far from the grape's sweet Pantelleria style. A well-liked everyday white, with fresh citrus-and-stone-fruit drinkability. It is a dependable Sicilian white for seafood at around £14.
Two vintages, 2024 and 2025, ship through UK retail at around £14 a bottle. A single-grape Sicilian white this fresh is best drunk young, so favour the most recent vintage in stock.
A versatile, low-risk Sicilian white: strong with seafood, easy for newcomers to indigenous Italian grapes, and priced for everyday drinking at around £14. Less suited to cellaring or a big-occasion pour.
Bright citrus acidity and a salty edge make it a natural with Sicilian seafood, fish pasta and fried shellfish; less flexible with red meat.
Low alcohol, versatile with everyday seafood and priced around £14, it is an easy midweek white.
An approachable, aromatic introduction to indigenous Sicilian Zibibbo: dry, unoaked and easy to read, with no challenging structure.
At around £14 it sits mid-band for Sicilian single-grape whites; a Berliner Wein gold and its well-liked everyday style make it a dependable rather than a bargain buy.
A well-made everyday bottle rather than a prestige or celebration pour; the entry tier of the Tenute Orestiadi range.
Built on freshness with no oak or tannin to evolve; an entry Sicilia DOC white meant for early drinking, not the cellar.

A compact view of what the Sicilia denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Both current releases are unoaked, steel-raised wines made for early drinking. Aromatic Zibibbo from the 2024 and 2025 Sicilian harvests is at its best within two to three years of the vintage, while the citrus and stone-fruit lift stays vivid.
The 2025 release follows the same steel-only, unoaked path from the white-clay slopes of Gibellina. The youngest and most aromatic Zibibbo in stock; drink through about 2028 while the citrus and peach are vivid.
An unoaked, steel-raised release from the 2024 Sicilian harvest on the Gibellina hills. Built for early drinking, its citrus and yellow-melon lift is freshest now; drink by around 2027.
The 2025 release follows the same steel-only, unoaked path from the white-clay slopes of Gibellina. The youngest and most aromatic Zibibbo in stock; drink through about 2028 while the citrus and peach are vivid.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Zibibbo, the Sicilian name for Muscat of Alexandria, is one of six native varieties Tenute Orestiadi bottles from the Gibellina hills. Made dry under Sicilia DOC, it trades the grape's sweet Pantelleria reputation for a crisp, savoury still white.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Sicilia is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Sicilia falls within Sicily, covering Sicily: the whole island, from the Trapani coast in the west to the slopes of Etna in the east.

Gibellina
Producer: Orestiadi Vini, Gibellina. Directions
Wine routes in the zone: Strada del Vino dell'Etna, Strada del Vino Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Strada del Vino Marsala e Pantelleria.
Manual late-August harvest at 200 to 450 m on Tenute Orestiadi's own white-clay slopes adds labour cost that a bulk Sicilian white avoids.
Three months in steel and no barrel keeps cellar and oak costs low, helping hold the UK shelf price near £14.
Sicilia DOC compliance plus the 2017 Berliner Wein Trophy gold support a small quality premium over generic Terre Siciliane bottlings.
Zibibbo has lower UK name recognition than Pinot Grigio, so the wine competes on price; about £14 keeps it accessible.
At 2026 rates roughly £2.67 excise duty plus VAT sits inside the £14 retail price before the retailer takes its margin.
Dishes that go with this wine
The producer pours it with fish-based pasta, mussels, sea urchins and fried prawns. Its citrus acidity and salty edge cut fried batter and lift shellfish, while the low 12.5% alcohol keeps lighter seafood from being overwhelmed.
Brisk citrus acidity lifts delicate fish-based first courses, the style the producer pours it with, while the wine's salty edge echoes the brine of the shellfish. Its light 12.5% body never buries the seafood.
Try with: Fregula ai frutti di mare · seafood linguine · spaghetti with clams · More pairings →
The salty, stony note the white-clay soil lends mirrors the briny sweetness of mussels and clams, and the citrus keeps each mouthful lively. A natural match for southern-Italian shellfish dishes.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · steamed clams · More pairings →
Fried crustaceans are on the producer's own pairing list. The wine's citrus acidity and low alcohol cut through batter and frying oil, refreshing the palate between bites rather than adding weight.
Try with: fried prawns · fritto misto di mare · salt-and-pepper squid
The wine's orange-blossom and citrus aromatics bridge the capers, olives and herbs of Sicilian swordfish, while its salty grip handles the oil of grilled white fish. A regional pairing from the same island.
Try with: Pesce spada alla Siciliana · grilled sea bream · swordfish skewers · More pairings →
Zibibbo's citrus and faint herbal lift handle the sweet-sour balance of Sicilian caponata and oil-dressed vegetable antipasti. Its low tannin keeps it from clashing with the vinegar in agrodolce plates.
Try with: caponata · grilled vegetables · marinated anchovies
This is a delicate, low-alcohol white. Fierce chilli heat amplifies its acidity and strips the fruit, while rich red meat and tannin-led braises overwhelm it. Pour a Sicilian Nero d'Avola for those instead.
Skip with: vindaloo · spicy arrabbiata · braised beef ragù · Pairing guide →
Built on freshness, not structure, this is a drink-now white. There is no oak or tannin to evolve, and the citrus-and-stone-fruit aromatics fade with age. Buy it by the vintage and drink within two to three years rather than laying it down.

Pour it straight from the bottle.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.

Confidence · MediumIt is a dry white. Zibibbo, Muscat of Alexandria, is famous for the sweet passito wines of Pantelleria. Tenute Orestiadi makes this Sicilia DOC version fully dry, with aromatic citrus and stone fruit and no sugar left.
Citrus, peach and yellow melon on the nose, with orange blossom and a chalky, salty, stony note from the limestone soils of Gibellina. The palate is fresh, light-bodied and savoury at 12.5% alcohol, finishing on lemon and wet stone.
Sicilian seafood. The producer recommends fish-based pasta, mussels, sea urchins and fried prawns; its citrus acidity and salty edge also suit fritto misto and grilled swordfish.
Zibibbo is the Sicilian name for Muscat of Alexandria, an ancient aromatic grape grown across western Sicily. Here it is grown on the white-clay hills of the Belìce Valley and bottled as a dry single-grape white.
Drink it young. Steel-raised and unoaked, it is built for freshness rather than ageing. The 2024 and 2025 vintages are best within two to three years of harvest, while the citrus and peach aromatics are vivid.
