About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Grillo is grown under the bright Sicilian sun. The text places the wine among Sicily's sun-drenched landscapes and cool sea breezes, and describes the Nello Coro range as reflecting the diversity of the island's terroirs.

Tasting profile

A dry white with a distinctly island character. The nose shows citrus, white flowers and tropical fruit, with an elegant mineral note that recalls the sea breeze. Fruity and easy-drinking in style.

Serving and pairing

Suited to relaxed summer evenings and afternoons on a terrace.

Label / history

Nello Coro is a range that pays tribute to Sicily's native grape varieties. Its white wines combine Mediterranean freshness with subtle minerality, while the reds offer depth and complexity. This bottling is a négociant bottling by Cantine Ermes.

The Occiduo line was founded in 2024 by a group of entrepreneurs. Their aim was to select and bring to market some of the best examples of each typical Sicilian grape variety from different terroirs. The line offers a modern interpretation of Sicilian terroir, with wines ranging from light and refreshing to rich and powerful.
