white grape

Grillo

Hot Sicilian sun with cooling sea breezes; concentrated but fresh.

Known as: Grillo

Grillo is one of Sicily's great white grapes, descended from the same lineage as Moscato, and the original workhorse of Marsala's strong wines.

Today it shines as a table wine: generous citrus and orchard fruit with a savoury bitter-almond edge from the island's hot sun.

For the buyer, Grillo is Mediterranean brightness — a full, food-friendly white that loves seafood.
