Grillo Wines

The Grillo wine grape has its origins in the sunny island of Sicily, Italy. This white grape variety is believed to have been cultivated for centuries, with its roots tracing back to the 19th century. Grillo is well-known for being one of the main grapes used in the production of Marsala, a fortified wine from Sicily.

When it comes to the taste profile of Grillo wine, it offers a unique and refreshing experience. It typically exhibits a bright acidity, with citrusy and tropical fruit flavours. The wine often displays notes of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, and melon, providing a zesty and vibrant taste on the palate. Grillo wines can range from dry to off-dry, offering versatility for pairing with various dishes.

Although Grillo can be grown in different regions, it thrives best in specific areas. Sicily remains the primary region for cultivating this grape variety, particularly in the provinces of Trapani and Agrigento.
