Stemmari Grillo Creato Organic

Grillo is grown in the Sambuca area of Sicily, with deep and clay soil which enforces its strong character and enhances the aroma. It only undergoes an agro-chemical treatment with a copper and sulphur base which strictly follows organic regulations and avoids the use of pesticides. The grapes ripen at the start of September when the Grillo skins are “tanned” and turn a golden yellow, which in this case simply indicates the complete ripening of the grape and not oxidation.

Once in the cellar the grapes continue to be treated in a way which completely respects and conserves their natural characteristics : a selected harvest of the grapes, soft crushing and pressing completely out of the air (vinification technique in “reduction”), natural decantering at cold temperatures, fermentation for 10 days at controlled temperatures (16°c). Ripening on the yeast for 3 months. Filtration, stabilization and bottling.

A straw yellow color, with initial hints of white flower which turn into more mature notes of tropical fruit such as mango and papaya. Medium structured wine, full bodied on first taste and with a strong persistence due to the typical freshness of this variety.
The taste is balanced, long and harmonious.

Goes well with raw sea food, sword fish and tuna, first courses of vegetables and salad, fresh cheeses or simply with fish cooked on salt.
