‘La Tradizione’ Grillo Sicilia D.O.C. 75cl (2024) TERRE DI VITA

A vibrant and sapid wine that embodies the Mediterranean essence, La Tradizione Grillo is a pure expression of one of Western Sicily's most distinctive white grape varieties. Cultivated in the hills between Salemi and Selinunte at altitudes of 100–300 metres, these vines thrive in sustainable farming conditions, benefiting from clayey, medium-texture soils and the warm Sicilian climate. Hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16°C over 12 days, preserving their bright aromatic character. Aged in stainless steel tanks for five months and refined in the bottle for an additional three months, this wine offers a balanced and elegant experience. The wine displays a vivid straw-yellow hue and a bouquet marked by pronounced aromas of yellow-fleshed fruits and floral jasmine notes. On the palate, it is light yet balanced, with harmonious fruit flavours elevated by excellent sapidity. La Tradizione Grillo pairs excellently with aperitifs, appetisers, grilled fish, and white meats. Best enjoyed at 10–12°C in a tulip-shaped glass, it delivers an elegant and memorable reflection of Sicily’s winemaking heritage.
