Description
Organic still white wine from Sicily, 12.5% ABV, produced by Zisola (Mazzei). A Grillo from southeastern Sicily, just a stone's throw from Noto, the birthplace of Nero d'Avola. The grapes come from vineyards that extend around the estate's three "bagli" (farmhouses). Hand-harvested from August 23rd (Grillo) to September 13th (Catarratto). Low-temperature fermentation (15°C). Enchants with sunny notes of bergamot and orange blossom, thyme, lily, and hints of minerality. A shimmering straw-yellow color with golden highlights. The palate beautifully translates the aromas from the nose, reinforcing them with a proud freshness and worthy savory character.
