Tasting Notes

Fresh citrus and orchard fruit lead, with notes of lemon zest, yellow apple, and pear, followed by a subtle herbal and a bit of sea spray. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with firm acidity and a saline minerality. Fruit flavors remain just ripe and focused, balanced by a gentle phenolic grip rather than sweetness. The finish is dry and calls for another sip, marked by citrus peel and a touch of almond skin that reinforces freshness.

About the Producer

Famiglia e Cantina Alcesti is a family-owned estate located near Marsala in western Sicily, where the family has farmed for generations but established the modern winery with a focus on estate-grown wines rooted in local identity. Vineyards are set on gently rolling hills at moderate altitude, where strong sunlight is moderated by coastal breezes, helping to maintain freshness in the fruit. The approach to viticulture emphasizes sustainability and low intervention, with attention to vine balance and harvest timing, while cellar work remains restrained, relying on stainless steel fermentation to preserve clarity. Wines such as the Edesia Grillo reflect this philosophy, prioritizing freshness, texture, and saline character over oak or weight.
