Ciccio Grillo 2024
Sicilia DOC
Loading...
Grillo is a star of Sicily, especially in the hands of winemaker Francesco Asaro. The handpicked grapes were softly pressed, before a cool fermentation to ensure the purest flavour. Lemony fresh with notes of sage, white pepper, melon and peach.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
With its rugged slopes, close to the Med, ‘airconditioning’ from sea breezes and plentiful sunshine, Sicily is a winemaker’s paradise off the boot of Italy's mainland. Growers there are very proud of their native grapes, one of which is Grillo. This is the star of Ciccio (pronounced chee-chi-oh) – the nickname for the winemaker Francesco Asaro. He has been with this Sicilian cellar since 2002. Gently handled and softly pressed, the Grillo makes a delicate, refreshing white with notes of pear and melon and a lift of sage and white pepper. Chill down a bottle and serve with antipasti, grilled fish or salads.
