Tasting Notes

Born under the golden Sicilian sun, this organic 100% Grillo captures the very soul of the island. Grown on rolling limestone-kissed hills overlooking the sea, each vine soaks up warm Mediterranean days and cool coastal breezes, yielding fruit of remarkable purity and vibrancy.

In the glass, it shimmers a delicate straw yellow, releasing a bouquet of sun-ripened citrus and lush tropical fruit. On the palate, a graceful dance of mineral elegance and savoury depth unfolds, its structure perfectly poised against a refreshing, sea-breeze freshness.

From the first sip, it speaks of its homeland — of salt air, ancient vineyards, and the timeless charm of Sicilian hospitality. A perfect companion to fresh seafood, delicate pasta, or simply an evening shared in good company.

Critic Scores

Pale straw in colour with brilliant clarity, capturing the youthful vitality of the vintage.
The nose is bright and expressive, opening with lemon zest, ripe pear and white peach, gently layered with subtle tropical nuances. Hints of fresh Mediterranean herbs and a delicate saline mineral note speak clearly of its coastal Sicilian origins.
On the palate, the wine is crisp and energetic, driven by vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavours. A fine mineral thread provides structure and precision through the mid-palate, while refreshing acidity carries the wine toward a clean, mouth-watering finish of impressive purity.
An articulate and refreshing expression of Grillo, balancing fruit clarity with regional character and poised freshness.
Vino Masters Score: 95 / 100
★★★★★ Clean, vibrant and beautifully balanced.
Drink now.

Elegant and delightfully expressed, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, ripe pear, apricot, and
subtle spice nuances. It's juicy and linear on the palate, offering bright fruit flavours with vibrant
acidity, finishing crip-dry and lingering. At its best: now to 2029.

Green melon , a bit of spice, honey, mint and flowers. Juicy but tight, quite the melon ball flavour strewn with some citrus and herb. a little chalky in texture, bright acidity, a bit of a quinine and lemon zest bite offering some crunch on a finish of good length. Tasty.

About this Wine

Sicily

According to Greek legend, the god of wine Dionysus was the first to have planted a vineyard in Sicily; kick-starting the viticulture of the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It's one of the biggest wine producing regions in Italy with Veneto and Emilio Romagna the only two Italian regions that produce more. In all, the island has an impressive 134,000 hectares under vine although this area is shrinking year by year. This region produces a wide range of wines, both table and dessert wines and the grapes most famously grown there are the Nero d’Avola and Catorrato varietals. Nerello Mascalese is used to make the Etna Rosso DOC wine from the volcanic Mt Etna and Frappato is a the main grape of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG.

Sicily is blessed with the most favorable climate. The summers are hot and it hardly rains, and the winters are not that cold and frost is rare. The Mediterranean climate is ideal for growing wine grapes as the coastal winds drying out grapes overnight. Because of the warm and relatively dry climate, there are less risk of rot and mildew among the grapes, so chemical sprays are rarely used. The soil of Sicily is rocky and enriched with minerals that absorb the heat during the day and release it at night, which helps the grape vines maintain an even temperature while the air around it gets cooler.
