SurSur, grillo in Arabic (in English cricket), is Donnafugata’s new single variety wine, the result of their research and commitment to the autochthonous Sicilian varieties. Made with Grillo grapes, it is a crisp and pleasant wine to enjoy with friends.

The rainfall was concentrated in spring, but altogether in 2012 there was less rainfall than in the last ten years, with yields that were slightly lower than average.

Art & Wine: Grillo is an ancient autochthonous variety from Sicily, but it is also a cute little animal (the

cricket) that brings good luck. The name sur sur , that means cricket, comes from the Arabic language which was once also spoken in Sicily. The voice of spring, with its scents and colors, is depicted on the label. It shows Gabriella as a girl in flight, running barefoot through the flowers and fresh grass, following the singing of crickets that sounds sweet to her ears, like a thousand “SurSur… ".
