A friendly Grillo for every day. I like how it crosses the border of ordinariness and weaves some sea breeze into its essence. It also offers stone fruits, butter (popcorn?) and citrus. The friendliness comes from creamy texture and higher residual sugar, but the balance, salinity and decent acidity help it to avoid vulgarity. Good value.
About
Grillo comes from 12 years old vines from a 4 ha plot in Segesta area (Trapani province) in hilly soil, rich in rock fragments with surface rocks at 600 meters above sea level. The fruits ferment at 18 degrees for 10-12 days. Malolactic fermentation happens in steel, where the wine ages for a short time.
