About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Sicily. The text refers to a subtle mineral note that reflects the terroir, but gives no details of site, soils or altitude.

Vinification

The grapes are selected with care and picked by hand at ideal ripeness. At the winery they are gently pressed, and the must is treated at a low temperature to preserve as much fruit character and freshness as possible. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a carefully controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine spends a short time in the same stainless steel tanks after fermentation. This develops a harmonious structure while keeping its freshness.

Tasting profile

Expressive and lively, with the character of the Grillo grape. The taste is balanced, with bright acidity and a subtle mineral note.

Serving and pairing

Suited to fish dishes and seafood.
