Branciforti Grillo Terre Siciliane IGT

Terroir and wine-making

The estate of Gelso Grande overlooks the heart of the Mediterranean from the western tip of Sicily: we are in the agro of Trapani and is here, between Mount Erice and the Egadi islands, that Chardonnay rows draw the plot of lush vineyards of grapes to be transformed into a collection of labels with a Sicilian soul.

The winegrowers of Feudo dei Branciforti hand pick the grapes, under the sun at the end of August, and transport them to the cellar where the vinification process begins. This Grillo IGT is obtained from a soft pressing of the grapes and ferment at controlled temperature; a month of aging on the lees is completed by an equally long period of aging in bottle. The simple and accurate processing determines the quality of typically Sicilian scents that this Grillo offers its tasters.

Notes of taste

Vinified in purity, the Grillo Branciforti gives exquisite herbal hints unfolding a refined taste structure. Its elegant freshness and persistence make the mouthfeel particularly pleasant, soft and elegant.

Wine at the table

With its qualities of refined and intense wine, the Grillo Branciforti is an excellent protagonist of delicate combinations with fish dishes such as a good risotto with crustaceans and fresh cheeses.

Curiosity
