Firriato Altavilla della Corte Bianco Grillo 2018
The Grillo bred in the Tenuta di Borgo Guarini fully expresses the peculiarities of the terroir of origin. The hilly climate, with its thermal excursions greater than the coastal area, brings as a dowry to these grapes a richer and more intense aromatic set, composed of thioles and aromatic precursors. It is the growing vine of Sicilian enology that is usually grown near the coast.

Colour

Randpale straw yellow color, with lively greenish shades.

Bouquet

The fruit is full and well-defined; it blossoms slowly with hints of tangerine and grapefruit, almonds, yellowfleshed fruit, melon, sage, lavender, and broom flowers, in an exciting crescendo.

Flavour

Composite and reserved by vocation and lineage, its guiding light is its harmony, which unfolds softly yet confidently, gradually revealing a slight yet unrelenting and soothing minerality.

Pairing

Shellfish
