2022 Artigiano Grillo

Grillo is a grape variety native to Sicily which traditionally was used for the production of Marsala. It’s a late ripening varietal, typically grown on bush vines, and needs a warm to hot climate to prosper – it is therefore no surprise that it has thrived on the sundrenched hills of Sicily for over 2000 years. More recently its potential for creating refreshing dry whites bursting with flavour has come to the fore.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with a glimmer of green skirting the edges and a watery hue. Lifted aromas of delicately spiced pear, lime and green apple are intermeshed with some fresh Mediterranean herb and slatey mineral notes. Sprawling across the mouth watering palate are crunchy lime and green apple fruits infused with a mix of Mediterranean herbs, wet slate and flinty minerals. Zesty acidity finishing long, dry and snappy.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
