Grillo Sicilia DOC “Intrigo” is a white wine that clearly expresses the character of the grape variety and the Sicilian territory.
On the nose, it opens with intense aromas and fruity and spicy notes that evoke ripening in the Mediterranean sun.
On the palate, it is fresh and structured, with good sapidity and persistence.
It pairs well with fish starters, both cooked and raw. Excellent with sarde a beccafico and baked fish, especially grouper.
Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.
Serving temperature: 12-14°C.
COLOR BRIGHT, DEEP YELLOW WITH ELEGANT AND VIVID GOLDEN HIGHLIGHTS.
AROMA INTENSE, CLEAN, AND ELEGANT, WITH NUANCES OF RIPE FRUIT AND CAPTIVATING MEDITERRANEAN SPICE NOTES.
TASTE FRESH, DRY, AND FULL-BODIED, WITH EXCELLENT BALANCE BETWEEN ACIDITY AND SOFTNESS, GOOD PERSISTENCE, AND A PLEASANT FINISH.
THE GRAPES ARE HARVESTED IN THE FIRST HALF OF SEPTEMBER AND SUBJECTED TO MACERATION AND GENTLE CRUSHING TO OBTAIN A CLEAN AND PROPERLY COLORED MUST, THEN AERATED AND CLARIFIED. ONCE CLEAR AND COOLED, SELECTED YEASTS ARE ADDED TO START ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION.
AFTER FERMENTATION, WHICH LASTS 10-12 DAYS, THE FIRST RACKING IS CARRIED OUT. THE WINE IS THEN STORED AT CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE UNTIL BOTTLING.
