Grillo Grape
White Grape
The vine Grillo, white grape, is grown in the regions of Puglia and Sicily.
Grillo is a grape variety introduced in Sicily probably from Puglia, probably following the phylloxera invasion in the Marsala area and subsequently in the other provinces of the island. However, the testimonies of Rizzo (1951) document a wide diffusion in the Trapani area as early as the end of 1800.
Characteristics of the wine
From the Grillo grape, a straw yellow colored wine with green reflections is obtained; the nose reveals aromatic and citrus notes. On the palate a good freshness is well balanced by an equally good softness.
