This one is all Grillo and rather exciting. Pale yellow, this is fresh and medium bodied at best. We have floral notes, notably frangipani blossoms, grapefruit pith, pears, orange rind notes and a minerally backing. Good intensity throughout, this is a wine that flows well, with focus. There is a seductive texture here and very good length.

A varietal native to Sicily, the Grillo is the most famous white varietal on the island and was historically used for production of Marsala.
Acate, in the province of Ragusa. This variety prefers typically sandy terrain that is sloped and gets a lot of sunlight. The type of farming is “Espalier”, used with an average density of planting where there are 4500 plants per 2.5 Acres.

100% Grillo. It is an average – to late varietal with maturity reached about the second week in September. The collection of the grapes, pressing, destemming is totally covered in the air (a method of vinification called “reduction”), the natural settling and fermentation take place at a controlled temperature of 18 degrees for 10 days. Maturation on the lees takes for 5 months in steel tanks.

An aroma distinctly tropical with notes of mango and papaya, that blends with inklings of jasmine and white flowers. Balanced and harmonious with a delicate acidity. Deep straw yellow. Distinctly tropical aromas of mango and papaya with hints of jasmine and white florals.  A wine that shows balanced citrus fruit and floral characters and delicate acidity. Light, aromatic, more-ish and very good with light seafood dishes and salads.
