Characteristics
Production area
Grapes: 80% Grillo, 20% Viognier. This aromatic wine showcases the great oenological potential of Sicily that expresses elegantly fragrant aromas in its white wines. Grillo, a principal native varietal of Sicily that for centuries has fed on the richness of the land and the climate of this fantastic island. In this wine, Grillo brings intense, exotic tropical notes of mango intermingled with delicate notes of white flowers and stone fruits. Viognier, a varietal originating in Valle del Roadano, flourishes in Sicily, expressing delicate notes of peach, apricot and citrus with a light hint of wildflowers and fresh honey. Behind these two components, there is a refined oak element with elegant notes of vanilla that respect the nuance of these varietals.
