About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Grillo grapes grow in vineyards in the Marsala region.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September, destemmed and gently pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation lasts around three weeks at a controlled temperature not exceeding 18 °C. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve lively acidity.
Tasting profile
Bright and refreshing, with lively acidity.
Serving and pairing
Suitable as an aperitif and with seafood, salads, marinated shrimp or scallops.
Vintage notes
In 2022, a mild winter and the absence of spring frosts contributed to an excellent-quality harvest in Sicily. Summer drought and heat reduced yields by 20% compared with the previous year. Sicily showed good resilience to increasingly evident climate change, and specialists considered the potential of the region’s 2022 wines impressive and promising.
