SELEZIONE DI GRILLO

SICILIA DOC

VINTAGE 2023

A true gem for lovers of this varietal, the greatness of this wine is in large part due to the uncompromised work in the vineyards and in the cellar. The grapes are harvested by hand from the oldest vines of the Costa del Pero vineyard. Because of its age, this particular parcel grants an extremely low yield of approximately one kilogram per plant, thus every grape is a bursting with richness, concentration and aromatic finesse.
