GRILLO "CAELES" FIRRIATO 2019

Caeles Grillo is a pure wine of Grillo grapes grown on the Borgo Guarini estate, in the Trapani countryside. Certified organic and vegan, it is born in a very particular cru characterized by a basically silty soil that gives a feeling of greasiness between the fingers.

The vinification takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature (16-18 °). This is followed by a 3-month refinement on the noble lees or “sur lie” in stainless steel tanks with daily stirring. Finally, another 3 months of bottle aging.

Interpreting the multifaceted terroir of Borgo Guarini, it presents itself as a white with a marked sapidity with an intense straw yellow color and an acidic shoulder that gives immediate elegance. The bouquet is complex and with a strong personality thanks to the aromatic contribution of thiols, aromatic precursors of this grape and responsible for those fresh and exotic fragrances, such as pink grapefruit and passion fruit, which are immediately perceived in the glass together with nuances of Mediterranean scrub. A clear, vertical wine, able to overcome any prejudices of consumers on possible defects in organic wines.
