Notes on the Wine
This medium bodied Italian white is bursting with ripe stone fruit flavors. Acidity keeps it lifted and refreshing.
The Grillo grapes come from the Salemi estate at an altitude of about 140 meters above sea level. With its marly structure, the soil is rich in organic substance and shows the typical pebbly configuration known as “Cuti”.
After their careful selection, the grapes undergo reductive pressing (absence of oxygen) by means of a nitrogen-saturated pneumatic press and vinified in steel vats at a temperature of 15° C. Fermentation lasts about 12 days at a temperature of 15°C. Once the fermentation is completed, the wine is kept on the yeasts until bottling, which promotes a greater evolution of its flavour and scent.
