Intense straw yellow in colour. The bouquet is characterized by pineapple, herbal notes of tea and nettle leaves. On the palate there are some lovely citrus and peach flavours.
Grillo grapes are grown in the top white grape producing area around Marsala.
We employ various different methods of canopy management, in order to handle the fact that the grapes hit the peak of maturity in mid-September, when the Sicilian sun is still very strong. Hand-picked in mid-September. Fermentation takes place over a period of about 2 weeks at a controlled temperature not exceeding 18 °C. In order to retain as much of the grapes’ natural acidity as possible, we do not carry out Malolactic fermentation.
Great with fish antipasti, pasta or risotto made with fish or vegetables, or main courses of barbequed fish and shellfish. It will also go with some oriental dishes.
