El Aziz Grillo 375ml by Fina in Sicily
$24.99
Regular price $19.99El Aziz by Cantine Fina is a particularly interesting Sicilian dessert wine. The name “El Aziz” means “The Magnificent” in Arabic, a nod to Sicily's long Mediterranean and Arab cultural history. It is made from 100% Grillo grown in Western Sicily.
Grape: 100% Grillo
Style: Sweet, late-harvest white
Alcohol: 14%
Region: Western Sicily
Color: Deep straw-gold with amber highlights
Aromas: Apricot, peach, pineapple, honey,
vanilla and sweet spices
Palate: Rich, soft and enveloping, with
concentrated ripe-fruit flavors balanced by
refreshing acidity and a delicate bittersweet finish.
Serving: About 12°C / 54°F
What makes it special is that it's a late-harvest wine. The grapes are hand-picked after being left to dry and concentrate on the vine, producing naturally concentrated fruit and sweetness. Fina has been making it since an especially hot 2003 harvest inspired the style.
The half-bottle format is ideal for this style. It's a wine you generally pour in smaller portions, either as an after-dinner drink or alongside dessert and cheese. It is especially recommended with Gorgonzola and other blue cheeses, creamy desserts, mousse, bavarois and fruit-based pastries.
This is not simply a sweet Grillo. It's a rich, concentrated late-harvest Sicilian wine with honeyed fruit, acidity and considerable character—a very nice option for customers looking for something unusual in a small-format bottle.
