Grillo

A wine that speaks the authentic voice of Sicily and the vineyards that have always grown on its ancient soil. Characterized by its immediate freshness, hints of grapefruit flower into a warm encounter of aromas, while on the palette its soft touch feels like a caress of grapes. Ideal for drinks amongst friends, this white calls to mind the fragrances and flavours of the Agrigento region and is a natural compliment to fish and shellfish-based dishes, as well as the more sophisticated aspects of traditional Italian seafood cuisine.
