Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from sandy soils in vineyards at 700 metres above sea level, on vines averaging 30 years old. The plot is called "Timpa", a Sicilian name meaning "steep climb", which suits its steep slopes. The wine is certified organic.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand into small crates. Cold skin maceration extracts aromatic compounds. Fermentation follows in concrete tanks under strict temperature control.
Ageing
The wine rests on its lees for 6 months in cement tanks. The porous concrete softens the texture and adds mineral nuances.
Tasting profile
Rich yet elegant. The aroma is fresh and balanced, with the orange notes typical of Grillo. The palate has a distinctive minerality that reflects the Sicilian soils, and bright acidity.
Serving and pairing
Suited to seafood dishes and light appetizers.
