Grillo

Grillo – Sicily's sun-drenched white wine

Grillo is an indigenous grape variety from Sicily that was long known primarily for the production of Marsala – but today it shines as an independent white wine. What distinguishes it: a lively freshness that one hardly expects from such a southern island, combined with a pleasant fullness on the palate. Typical are light fruit, a subtle herbal spice, and an invigorating acidity that keeps the wine light-footed despite the Mediterranean sun. Grillo is dry, aromatic, and never intrusive – an honest everyday wine that can also impress in more ambitious aging variants.

Sicily pure in the glass

All wines in this category come from Sicily; many of them bear the designation Sicilia DOC. Well-known producers like Donnafugata, Planeta, Tasca d'Almerita, and Firriato show how versatilely Grillo can be interpreted – from the uncomplicated summer wine to more serious bottlings with more depth and aging potential.
