Grillo

Grillo

Vintage 2020

A hybrid of Catarratto and Moscato d’Alessandria created by the baron Antonio Mendola at the end of the 1800’s, this Grillo captures the acidity and fresh aromas, with notes of citrus and herbs, typical for the Catarratto variety and sweet and floral aromas from the Moscato variety. A common variety at the beginning of the 1800’s, mainly in the province of Trapani for the production of Marsala, today it’s interpreted in a modern version, resulting in a fresh, aromatic and drinkable wine.
