GRILLO

A variety with an extraordinary, universal appeal: Grillo 100 %. First brought to <?xml:namespace prefix = "st1" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Sicily by the Phoenicians, it has managed to survive since then by appealing to countless generations of winedrinkers. First of all it entices with its brillant golden colour; then seduces with its intoxicating and complex aromas of almonds, apples, white flowers with hints of sage,

thyme and rosemary. The palate shows Grillo's noble breed with a full, yet caressing structure. Finally, The perfect equilibrium of fruit, texture and acidity crown Grillo's natural birthright as a wine of unique character.
