Grillo 'Costadune' Sicily DOC Mandrarossa 2021

Grillo Costadune wine is part of the Mandrarossa line, the strong point of the production of Cantine Settesoli, the largest Sicilian winery. As the name suggests, Costadune derives from the Grillo vine which was used for many years for the production of blended wines destined for northern Italy and abroad. In recent decades, the situation has, fortunately, changed drastically, so much so that many producers have begun to exploit this vine decisively for the production of high quality wines. Produced in the Menfi area, directly overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Grillo Costadune derives from vines rooted on sandy dunes, pruned with the Guyot technique, typical for farming on arid soils. The vinification is done with a process that involves low temperatures and subsequent fermentation in steel barrels. These techniques make it an intense wine, with a good note of sapidity and acidity and with a good structure. Pairings of the Sicilian tradition, especially with fish!
