Maioliche Grillo Sauvignon Blanco 2024
Sicilia DOC, Italy
Grillo, Sauvignon Blanc | 12.0% ABV
Barone Montalto is rooted in a heritage of authenticity, memory and identity. Guided by curiosity, it explores new horizons, cultures and experiences, turning every discovery into inspiration. Their Maioliche Grillo Sauvignon Blanc is lively and elegant, it is a perfect marriage between the king of Sicilian white grape varieties and the international and expressive sauvignon blanc.
Straw yellow colour with yellow highlights, it gives the nose olfactory sensations ranging from hints of tropical fruits to herbaceous notes. In the mouth it is full and recalls herbaceous hints, good acidity and minerality.
Excellent as an aperitif. Perfect with Penne topped with a ricotta and avocado sauce, with lemon zest and parsley.
Best served at 8 - 10°C.
Barone Montalto explores the Belice Valley, inland from Trapani. Sicily, a historic territory of connection between civilisations, is a unique region in which the force of the elements and cultures permeates every corner. Ancestral nature, cultural stratification, scents of land and sea, salt and altitudes, volcanoes and art. The southwestern part of the island is our home: here we rediscover and interpret with an eye to the future the historic varieties that are typical of this noble land. Sicilian vineyards are among the largest in Italy by area and earn first place in terms of organic coverage.
