WINEMAKING 

Don’t let the unusual name fool you, this wine is a deliciously familiar and loveable wine. From the beautiful Sicilian terrains, the wine is full in body, with a floral & herbal aroma.

CELLARING 

Drink now, or cellar for 1-2 years. 

COLOUR 

Intense and bright golden yellow by the glass. 

NOSE 

Citrus blossom & grapefruit come together in a soft, fruit forward fragrance. The nose is articulated and rich, opened by floral and slightly herbaceous notes, then followed by references to white peach and citrus references to cedar. 

PALATE 

An edgy & delicious wine with notes of lemon, peach & pear. Stoney and savoury with a blast of lemon citrus fruits, a touch of blood orange & peach juice wrapped up in a vivid, mineral acidity. The sip is easy and lively, snappy, fresh, and savoury. Long persistence. 

FOOD PAIRING 

Think of Grillo as the fuller, sexier sister of Pinot Grigio. With herbal notes and bright acidity, this wine pairs perfectly with prawns or Caesar salad.
