Grillo

Grillo, a notable white grape variety native to Sicily, Italy, captures the essence of the island’s sunny terroir in its wines. Revered for its versatility and adaptability to Sicily’s hot and arid climate, Grillo thrives in the region’s limestone-rich soils, yielding wines of remarkable freshness and vibrancy.

Grillo wines are characterized by their lively acidity, medium body, and distinct aromas of citrus fruits, ripe peach, and delicate floral notes. They often exhibit a crisp and refreshing palate, making them ideal companions to Sicilian seafood dishes, salads, and antipasti.

Despite its historical role in Marsala production, Grillo has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with winemakers showcasing its potential as a varietal wine, offering wine enthusiasts a delightful taste of Sicily’s coastal charm and winemaking prowess.
