Sicily, Italy – 100% Grillo
Pronounced floral aromas with notes of citrus, peach, almond, and sweet grass. The palate is round and balanced, showing good depth with fresh acidity and a subtle mineral, lightly saline finish. Calcareous soils and coastal influence bring freshness and structure, while alberello-trained vines add concentration.
Pairing Suggestions: A versatile match for seafood like grilled fish, shrimp, and shellfish, where its acidity and minerality enhance freshness. It also pairs well with pork tenderloin and white meats, especially with herbs or citrus. The wine’s texture and aromatics make it a strong choice for lightly spiced dishes, particularly Asian cuisine such as Thai or Vietnamese, where it balances heat and complements aromatic flavours. Vegetable dishes with fennel, asparagus, or herbs, as well as lightly nutty preparations, also work well.
