This vibrant, fresh Grillo is sourced from vines averaging 20 years of age grown in calcareous soils. Vinified in stainless steel, it has a weighty texture and character, with citrus, gentle suggestions of savory and garden herbs, a touch of almond, and a fine saline minerality. It will pair well with grilled seafood, summer salads, and veggie skewers.

Aromas of terra-cotta, dried earth, stone, and black berries. Medium to full body. Chewy yet fine tannins. It goes on for minutes. The fruit keeps going yet always in check. One for the cellar. A new benchmark for nero d'avola. Single vineyard magic. Best after 2026. [Will cellar into mid-2030s.] Score - 97. (jamessuckling.com, July 9, 2023)
