Saverio Faro
Grillo Sicilia DOC
Wine Type: Red Wine
Country: Italy
Region: Sicily
Grapes: 100% Grillo
Tasting Notes: Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. In the nose it is intense and enveloping with aromas of white berries, alongside herbaceous and mineral scents. On the palate it has discreet freshness and flavor, giving the wine a good balance.
Winemaking: Harvesting is done by hand and slightly in advance to preserve the right freshness. The grapes undergo a short cold maceration at a temperature of 8-10 °C and after soft pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The Grillo matures for about 4 months in steel containers and finishes its ageing with a few months in the bottle before being put on sale.
Food Pairings: Perfectly paired with fresh fish dishes and shellfish.
