Haermosa Grillo White Wine 2019 Masseria del Feudo Sicilia Doc Organic

A Sicilian Doc white with a unique character, which amazes the palate, rich in the varietal aromas of the Grillo grapes from which it is born

The Organic Haermosa Grillo by Masseria del Feudo was born in Sicily DOC at 480 meters above sea level, on clayey soils from hand-picked grapes. Maceration on the skins is one of the decisive steps in the production of this wine, a large part of the organoleptic and gustatory characteristics depends on it.

The grapes come from a selection made by hand on a parcel of an old Guyot-trained Grillo vineyard and harvested in early September. The soils are calcareous and of medium texture, with a strong presence of skeleton. After destemming, the must is left in contact with the skins for about 40 days, during which alcoholic fermentation takes place, and then the wine rests on the fine lees until bottling. A white with a unique character.

Intense straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose the typical floral and fruity notes of the variety are embellished with aromas of orange peel, toasted hazelnut and marzipan. The typical varietal aromas blend in perfect harmony with the spicy and citrus notes given by prolonged contact with the skins.

Wine with an excellent gustatory structure, enveloping mouth, with a typical savory vein supported by a fine and tasty tannin, the long, dynamic and balanced finish accentuates the pleasantness to the sip which is smooth and very elegant.
