Grillo Riserva, 2023 DOC Firma del Tempo by Fina Winery
Firma del Tempo - The Signature of Time
White Wine
This wine is one of Bruno Fina's special project, Orizzonti to create the best of Sicilian wine and put them on the world stage
Grape variety: 100% Grillo.
Vineyard: Single vineyard “cru” in the Riserva Naturale dello Stagnone area in Western
Cellar work: Grapes are destemmed and softly pressed; about 20% of the wine ferments in new barriques at ~16 °C; the rest presumably in stainless or large wood.
Ageing: The wine rests on fine lees with bâtonnage for ~12 months, followed by ~2 months of bottle refinement.
Alcohol level: Approximately 13.5%.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Golden-yellow color.
Aroma / Nose: Intense citrus and bergamot, notes of Mediterranean scrub (garrigue), chamomile; strong iodine and sea-breeze salinity reflect the coastal terroir.
Palate / Taste: Fresh, tangy and sharply mineral; strong savoury and saline backbone, lively acidity, and a clear sense of Mediterranean character.
Finish: Persistent and evocative of sea-air and aromatic herbs, with a clean, slightly briny persistence.
