Grillo è un vitigno a bacca bianca diffuso soprattutto nella Sicilia occidentale. Origine probabile risiede in quello che scriveva nel 1874 il barone Mendola: “seme di Catarratto bianco fecondato artificialmente con Zibibbo nella fioritura del 1869 nel mio vigneto Piana dei Peri presso Favara […]. Lo stesso scriveva anche nel 1904 “ibridai il Catarratto comune di Sicilia […] collo Zibibbo, per potere fabbricare un Marsala più aromatico”.

Grillo is a white grape variety found primarily in western Sicily. Its probable origin lies in what Baron Mendola wrote in 1874: "White Catarratto seed artificially fertilized with Zibibbo during the 1869 flowering period in my Piana dei Peri vineyard near Favara [...]." He also wrote in 1904: "I hybridized the common Catarratto of Sicily [...] with Zibibbo, in order to produce a more aromatic Marsala." Grillo originally originated in the Marsala area and then spread to other provinces on the island. Grillo is capable of producing wines with high alcohol content and is particularly suited to aging. The best Marsala is made from Grillo.

Cultivation area
The municipality of Salemi, 446 m above sea level, is where vines and wine have been defining features of the area for millennia.

Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers each year and relies on the strength and health of the land and the vineyard to obtain grapes rich in yeasts essential for fermentation in the cellar.

Deep straw yellow . Fruity and citrus aromas with floral notes of wildflowers and orange blossom. Fresh, well-structured palate with a pleasant, slightly savory and mineral finish.

Cultivation area
The municipality of Salemi, 446 meters above sea level, has been a defining feature of the region for millennia. The heart of Italy's most vineyard-rich province (Trapani), it offers vines a unique terroir, capable of imparting inimitable characteristics and qualities to the fruit. The hilly terrain and the properties of the limestone and tuff soil, combined with the climate, create ideal conditions for growing grapes. Sicilian wines are called "sun wines" because the grapes are bathed in the warm Sicilian sun, typical of the region. Once vinified, they produce full-bodied wines with a distinctive grandeur.

In the cellar
100% Demeter biodynamic grapes.
