- Bursting with Sicilian sunshine, this fragrant wine has a lifted bouquet of sun-ripened citrus and tropical fruits. It is refreshing and dry on the palate, with a ripe roundness leading to a mouthwatering finish.
The grapes were hand-picked at optimum maturity and then vinified in small stainless steel tanks to retain the freshness and purity of fruit of the Grillo variety. A soft pressing
must occur at 12°C for 24 hours, followed by fermentation at 16°C with selected yeasts. The wine rested in a tank for four months with yeast contact, imparting richness to the texture whilst preserving the aromatics.

Winery | Grillo is the illustrious grape of Sicily, and it is produced from chalky, south-facing vineyards in the southwestern part of the island. Here in these sun-drenched vineyards, the highest standards are attained through innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils, and vine age. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are hand-harvested at the optimum maturity levels, according to the terroir and microclimate of the vineyard. They are then harvested into 20-kilogram containers to prevent the grapes from being prematurely crushed. The vineyards have distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sea level up to 700 meters above sea level. |
