Taste Block

Tasting Notes

A fantastic Pinot Grigio alternative that’ll become your anytime, anything goes white wine. Refreshing notes of citrus, white peach, white flower, just-picked apple, Mediterranean herbs, and even kiwi notes. On the palate, it is pleasantly fresh and juicy with a crisp mineral quality and flavors of orchard fruits and citrus that lead into a finish tinged with notes of almond and lingering freshness.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Fragrant with a touch of minerality, Grillo is the ideal wine for pairing with shellfish and fish appetizers – cooked or raw – but it also pairs deliciously with pasta and risottos with vegetables and seafood, such as the traditional Sicilian pasta with sardines. Thanks to its medium body, it is perfect with chicken, especially grilled or served with Mediterranean herbs. Some ideas include Shrimp Po’Boys, steamed dumplings, Chicken Shawarma, chicken and za’atar, Cobb or Caesar salads, pesto with orzo or pasta, savory tarts, and dishes that include polenta.

About the Producer

The Cantine Fina winery is located in Western Sicily between Marsala and Erice, looking at the sea from a hill with stunning sunsets. Sicily is sunny and wind-swept, and the sea's proximity brings a unique character to its wines. The winery was established in 2005 by Bruno Fina and his wife, who worked with acclaimed Italian winemaker Giacomo Tachis to find the best terroir and microclimates in Sicily for planting both indigenous and international varieties.

Grillo is a grape variety indigenous to Sicily, once used as the base for some of the highest quality fortified Marsala wines. Today, Grillo is widely planted in Sicily to produce medium to full-bodied dry white wines such as this one.
