Tenuta Gorghi Tondi "Coste a Preola" Grillo Sicilia DOC 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Coste a Preola is a name chosen to pay homage to Sicily and its biodiversity. In fact, this is the name given to the vineyards on the western edge of the island, close to the Mediterranean Sea, in an area bordering the WWF Nature Reserve Lago Preola e Gorghi Tondi. DOC Sicilia, this white wine is certified organic. From the vineyards, which are a few metres above sea level, 100% Grillo grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are soon brought to the winery to begin the delicate transformation phase. The must ferments in steel tanks, at a controlled temperature, and the resulting wine matures, again in steel, in contact with its fine lees, for about 5 months before bottling. In the glass it has a beautiful bright yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose is elegant, intense, with marked and complex varietal notes. In particular, notes of passion fruit, mint, pineapple and white peach are recognisable. In the mouth, however, it reveals excellent balance.
