Ciao Daniel

Location: Sicily

Profile: Wine from a refined and persistent bouquet where iodine mineral notes are well combined to aromas of white and yellow pulp fruit, floral nuances, mimosa and chamomile in particular and fresh notes that refer to Mediterranean aromatic herbs. The palate is fresh and savory, vibrant with acidity and rich in fruit, and the finish is long and tonic.

Winery: Casematte is a winery located in the large territory of Messina, which was funded in 2008 thanks to the concept and to the obstinacy of Gianfranco Sabbatino, who is an accountant by profession and a winemaker by passion. He involved in this project also his friend Andrea Barzagli with his enthusiasm. Their big challenge is to bring back Faro Doc, the historic local wine.

Terroir: Mix of sandy, calcareous, and clayey soils.

Pairings: White fish, shellfish, appetizers.

If you’re new to Sicilian grillo, try this one.

Sicily has become one of the “it” wine producing regions in Italy, and its resurgence/discovery is currently being fueled by white wines, Grillo among them.
Historically this grape was used mainly for
Marsala and also shipped north to put into vermouth. But the Sicilians have discovered (to our benefit) that it’s just a dandy refreshing white wine on its own if tended carefully and produced with some thought.

Midweight, with some nice tropical fruit and decent acidity. Some people liken Grillo to an unoaked Chardonnay; maybe in terms of weight but the flavors in Grillo are often more exotic.

For the price this is really worth exploring.
