Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; this entry's Vermutpedia Score remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Angileri Vermouth Bianco is the bianco dolce of the Angileri line that Alagna Vini produces in the Marsala territory with Sicilian white grapes — Catarratto and Inzolia — from vineyards contrasting between Marsala and Mazara del Vallo. According to alagnavini.com, the Angileri line is a selection of the most representative wines of the Marsala colline hinterland, dedicated to Vitalba Angileri, wife of Ercole Alagna, who actively manages the family vineyards. The vermouth is made with aromatic herbs, spices and local roots hand-harvested in the Sicilian countryside, infused in neutral alcohol and enriched with base wine, sugar and secret ingredients. Deep straw-gold colour; 16.5% vol., 140 g/L of sugar, 1 L format with screw cap. For Vermutpedia, Angileri Bianco is a sweet, aromatic island vermouth: vanilla, white flowers and citrus peel on a Sicilian white base, with a morbido and balanced profile for Mediterranean aperitivo.

Nose and palate

The official sheet describes a deep straw-gold colour, intense and aromatic nose, full sweet flavour with a bitter aftertaste. On the nose: fresh citrus, aromatic herbs, exotic spices and vanilla; white flowers and citrus peel complete a bouquet typical of Sicilian white vermouth. On the palate it is morbido, pleasantly sweet and persistent: elegant bitterness integrated with full sweetness — 140 g/L — and contained acidity that maintains drinkability. The manual infusion of local herbs adds complexity and distinctive character without harshness. Enveloping texture, a satisfying finish with a bitter aftertaste that balances the sweet register. Compared with Angileri Rosso al Nero d'Avola, the bianco favours luminosity, flowers and citrus over the depth of the red. A white for palates that value Marsala tradition, Sicilian field botanicals and classic Italian aperitivo served chilled between 8 and 10 °C, as recommended by the house.

How to serve it

Alagna Vini recommends serving Vermouth Bianco Angileri chilled, between 8 and 10 °C, shortly before meals, accompanied by cheeses, olives or savoury snacks — a classic Italian aperitivo that complements the sweet and bitter profile of the vermouth. Works neat in a wine or cocktail glass, in a light white spritz or as a base for contemporary cocktails when Sicilian sweetness with local herbs is desired. Also on ice with a lemon twist on an island terrace. For tasting, a glass without ice allows vanilla, flowers and citrus to be appreciated. Does not compete with industrial extra dry vermouths: this is a bianco dolce with 140 g/L of sugar and Marsala character. Coherent with the Angileri line alongside the Rosso, Mosto Cotto, Marsala and other references from the Sicilian hinterland. Ideal for those exploring the Alagna Vini universe beyond traditional Marsala, with a generous one-litre bottle for sharing at table.
