Feudo Montoni Grillo della Timpa

In the glass

Aroma: white grapefruit, fennel, lemon herb, almond blossom

Palate: citrus, stone fruit, herbal, mineral

Grillo grown at altitude in central Sicily develops an unusual aromatic tension; this steel-only white is crisper and more mineral than coastal Grillos with notable herbal lift.

What it pairs with

• Grilled sea bass with lemon and capers
  High acidity and citrus notes are the natural choice for simply grilled Mediterranean fish.
• Fried calamari
  Clean mineral finish and high acid cut through fried squid without competing.
• Marinated anchovies
  Herbal lift and citrus complement the brine and oil of marinated anchovies.

History

Feudo Montoni expanded into white wine with the Grillo della Timpa to offer a complementary white to the estate's red range, grown on the high Cammarata plateau where cooler nights preserve aromatic freshness in the variety.
