Description

Product description for Marco de Bartoli Grappoli del Grillo, Sicilia Grillo DOC 2022 (bio)

Wine Information

The Grillo grapes come from vines over 20 years old and grow in western Sicily, in Contrada, Samperi, and Marsala, on limestone and sandy loam.

Vine Information

Careful manual selection of the clusters and gentle pressing, followed by 48 hours of cool fermentation with the wine’s own yeasts in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by a further 12 months of ageing in French barriques with regular bâtonnage.

Colour

Sparkling golden yellow with subtle coppery reflections.

Nose

The 2022 Grappoli del Grillo smells of dried rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaves, accompanied by ivy, linden blossom, and elderberry wood. Beautiful fruity aromas of orange, honeydew melon, and ripe pear combined with sweet spices like cinnamon and star anise are also very present. This heralds an extremely distinctive, exciting, and spicy wine.

Palate

On the palate, it is crisp and fresh thanks to its striking minerality and refreshing acidity. Distinct salty notes further enhance the pleasantly challenging and stimulating character, while subtle bitter notes in the aftertaste are extremely appealing. A wine that simply begs to be paired with creative and purist cuisine!
