Firriato Altavilla della Corte Grillo 2023
The Grillo grape grown on the Borgo Guarini estate fully expresses the peculiarities of its terroir of origin. The hilly climate, with its greater temperature ranges than the coastal area, brings to these grapes a richer and more intense dowry of thiols and aromatic precursors. The rising grape variety of Sicilian oenology is usually grown near the coast.

Colour

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.

Bouquet

Hints of fresh, intense citrus fruits meet with delicious nuances of almonds and melons. It is a wine to be discovered and experienced in its delicate complexity of fruity aromas and fragrances of lavender and broom.

Flavour

Soft and fresh in the opening. It is a wine that excels in persistence and restraint. A lively and crisp fruitiness of aristocratic Mediterranean minerality, elegant and calibrated, emerges on the palate.

Pairing

It is ideal with fresh cheeses, fish and shellfish dishes
