Tasting Notes

This distinctive wine from Sicily embodies traditional Italian winemaking heritage. With 12.5% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness. Crafted from Grillo 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate is fresh and precise, with lively acidity carrying through to the finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on soils with a mixed composition of limestone and silica, bred in counter-espalier on 4500 vines per hectare. Vinification: cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel. The wine is aged a few months in stainless steel tanks. A wine capturing Sicily's sun-soaked character and ancient viticultural roots.
