Valle dell'Acate's Grillo captures the freshness of the Sicilian coast: citrus blossom, peach and herb aromas with bright acidity and clean mineral finish.

What it pairs with

  • Fritto misto di pesce
    High acidity cuts through the oil; citrus-herb notes complement the fresh seafood.
  • Seafood risotto
    Clean mineral profile and medium body match well with delicate seafood risotto.
  • Insalata di mare
    Refreshing acidity and sea-breeze aromatics amplify marinated seafood.

History

Valle dell'Acate added a Grillo to their range to showcase the variety's aromatic freshness from their warm Ragusa-province soils, offering an approachable organic white alongside the red lineup.
