WINE DESCRIPTION

Poggio Graffetta Grillo is a dry, zesty and mineral-driven white wine from the volcanic island of Sicily, located off the Italian mainland. This wine is made exclusively from the Grillo grape variety, sourced form the hilly Località Segesta vineyard. The wine is fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled-temperatures, before it undergoes around 3 months of maturation in inert vessels. The result is a crisp and refreshing wine with vibrant citrus and smoky mineral undertones that pairs delightfully with seafood dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Poggio Graffetta Grillo presents a brilliant medium straw appearance in the glass.The nose offers bright aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of white flowers and subtle herbal undertones. These fruity notes are complemented by delicate smoky minerality. The palate is crisp and lively, with a zesty acidity that enhances the citrus flavors that persist on the palate. These fruit notes are accompanied by smoky minerality that typifies the wines of Sicily.
