Description

El Aziz from the Arabic 'The Magnificent' is the result of a late harvest of Grillo. It is harvested strictly by hand, in the first ten days of October, leaving the fruit to dry on the vine. This wine was born by chance during the 2003 harvest in Sicily, thanks to a very hot summer that allowed the grapes to ripen early.

Tasting notes

Profumo

Perfume

Aromatic and sweet fragrances that impress with their evolutionary complexity, recalling very ripe and dried white fruits such as pineapple, peach and apricot, as well as vanilla, honey and sweet spices.

Color

It shows an intense straw-yellow colour with evident and pronounced golden hues, tending towards amber.

On the palate, the wine offers soft, enveloping aromas and flavours, with great structure and harmony, warm in alcohol, and with a delicate bitter finish.

Serve at:
