Sicily has become one of the “it” wine producing regions in Italy, and its resurgence/discovery is currently being fueled by white wines, Grillo among them.
Historically this grape was used mainly for
Marsala and also shipped north to put into vermouth. But the Sicilians have discovered (to our benefit) that it’s just a dandy refreshing white wine on its own if tended carefully and produced with some thought.
Midweight, with some nice tropical fruit and decent acidity. Some people liken Grillo to an unoaked Chardonnay; maybe in terms of weight but the flavors in Grillo are often more exotic.
For the price this is really worth exploring.
excellent
Medium body , mild fruit , good friendly
I would buy again
