Mandrarossa Grillo

In the glass

Aroma: citrus blossom, peach, grapefruit, herbal

Palate: lemon, stone fruit, sea salt mineral, fresh

Mandrarossa's coastal Grillo from Menfi shows the grape's Mediterranean character: sun-warmed citrus blossom and peach with sea-salt mineral and high acidity from close proximity to the Tyrrhenian coast.

What it pairs with

• Grilled swordfish with gremolata
  Citrus blossom and sea-salt mineral match the citrus herb sauce on grilled swordfish.
• Mixed seafood antipasto
  High acidity and coastal mineral notes work across a range of sea-fresh starters.
• Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes
  The wine's refreshing acidity and citrus brighten simple tomato-oil bread.

History

Mandrarossa added a varietal Grillo to their range to offer the most characteristically Sicilian white experience at their price point. The Menfi coast's proximity to the sea gives this Grillo a salinity not found in inland bottlings.
