Wine

Information

Straw yellow intense coloured wine with greenish
reflections that will turn golden after maturing
inside the bottle. The scent is captivating and
long-lasting, characterized by mellow citrus
notes, especially grapefruit, accompanied by
tropical fruits, white-pulped fruits and jasmine
in a harmonic complex which re-emerges in the
secondary scents.Tasting immediately shows
its importance, thanks to its excellent flavour
and olfactory balance, its great freshness and
persistency on the palate, and best of all thanks
to its high mineral content. Suitable for fish
starters, main and second courses with seafood
and shellfish, white meat second courses, fresh
and medium-aged cheeses. To be served at the
temperature of 12-13 °C.

Characteristics

Appellation:
IGT Terre Siciliane Grillo white wine
Place of production:
District of Berlinghieri - Trapani
Grapes:
100% organically cultivated Grillo.
Yield per hectare:
70 quintals on medium textured soil at 350
meters above sea level.
Harvest period:
Painstakingly hand-picked in the first week of
September, using bins of 200 kg.
Winemaking:
Short maceration of the skin of the grapes at
a low temperature in a reducing environment,
soft pressing and fermentation at a controlled
temperature. The aging takes place in steel
tanks for the 90% of it, while for just the 10% of
it the aging is done in French oak tonneaux. Our
technique consists in the refinement on the fine
lees until the spring after the harvest, bottling
period. A month before bottling the obtained
cuvées are put together and mixed in order to
give birth to a unique wine which is the one
that will be bottled in the end. An extra month
inside the bottle will be necessary to our Grillo
to achieve its highest organoleptic expression,
which can be appreciated after a year of being
bottled.
