Cantine Europa Grillo Grillante Bio Brut 2021

Description

Grillante is the terroir's answer to producing a sparkling wine with great minerality and freshness, with the flavours and colours of Sicily. From its name Grillante, one can infer the assonance to the Grillo variety, a sort of synonym for Brillante in the varietal version from which it derives, to describe the richness and personality of a grape variety that is very versatile due to its intrinsic characteristics. Drinking Grillante takes the consumer on a journey of smells and flavours that can be traced back to the variety's homeland, with an expression of the typicality and character of the land, where soil, sun and wind make up its absolutely original and authentic terroir.

From this winery

• Hectares: 6.000

Cantine Europa is an agricultural cooperative society founded in 1962 in Petrosino, in the province of Trapani, and is the world's first producer of Grillo. Today the winery has 2,100 members and over 6,000 hectares of cultivated land between the provinces of Trapani, Agrigento and Palermo. Here, the rolling hills of Western Sicily, kissed by the sun and caressed by a mild, well-ventilated climate, overlook the azure blue sea, recreating a unique environment, naturally suited to advanced and selective wine growing.

The innumerable combination of factors such as the type of grape "cultivar" (local and international), the characteristics of the soil, the exposure of the vineyards and the wise combination of ancient and modern techniques, makes Cantine Europa a reference point in the sector for almost 60 years, building value to and from the territory.

The Winery, in fact, has always been dedicated to the vinification and processing of grapes, musts and/or wines conferred by its members, promoting the enhancement of their wine production. This is because for Cantine Europa the word "territory" is much more than a simple geographical connotation: it is a sense of belonging and an extraordinary blend of rural stories and traditions to be preserved over time.

Driven by the desire to let the whole world discover the quality and authenticity of its wine stories, Cantine Europa is facing a challenging process of renewal and repositioning, made of a meeting between tradition and innovation in the name of sustainability. The winery is UNI EN ISO 9001, 14001 and 50001 certified. Read more
