Grillo doing something genuinely unusual. Dried orange peel, raw honey, candied ginger and a waft of tropical blossom open the nose with real character. On the mouth it's soft and savory at once — green apple and warm spice riding a current of stony minerality, all held together by the lightest touch of residual sugar. It finishes clean and refreshed, then lingers with almond custard and a quiet floral echo. Sourced from thirty-year-old vines in Marsala and refined on lees for eighteen months, this is a compelling argument for Grillo's wilder side.

Marco de Bartoli

Marco de Bartoli rescued Marsala from irrelevance, producing benchmark Vecchio Samperi alongside some of Sicily's most precise dry whites from Grillo and Zibibbo.
