bright yellow, full of elegant and lively golden notes.

Flavour

fresh, dry, full bodied, fruity, perfect harmony between the sour note and the alcoholic softness, good persistence on the palate and aftertaste. Excellent taste and smell correspondence.

Bouquet

deep, clear, elegant. Ripe fruit sensations emerge, accompanied by enchanting notes of thyme and Mediterranean spices.

Winemaking

Grillo grapes are harvested during the first two weeks of September; the perfectly ripe and healthy grapes are taken to the winery to be crushed, de-stemmed, macerated and gently pressed in order to obtain a complete and optimally coloured must; the must is aired and then dynamically clarified, this operation called flotation. The resulting clear must is cooled down to 16-18° C and then selected yeasts are added in order to produce fermentation. When finished, the wine is cooled down to 12-14° C and after 10-12 days the first transfer of the wine is carried out. Piantaferro Grillo is kept at a controlled temperature until bottling.

Alcohol content

12.5% vol.

Storage and ageing
