Cantina Colomba Bianca Vitese Grillo - Grillo is the flagship of Sicily's indigenous white varieties, with its aromatic and floral nose. Pleasantly fresh and harmonious, with ripe melon, green apple and mineral flavours, a well-structured palate, the Vitese Grillo has a long and elegant finish.
Here in these sun- drenched vineyards, the highest standards are attained through the use of innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils and vine age. The vineyards are made up of distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sea-level up to 700 metres above sea level, imparting subtle complexity into the wine. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are manually harvested at optimum maturity. Once picked, the grapes are transferred into 20 kilogram containers, to prevent them from being prematurely crushed.
The grapes were hand-picked at optimum maturity and then vinified in small stainless steel tanks to retain the freshness and purity of fruit. A soft pressing of the must took place at 12°C for 24 hours, followed by fermentation at 16°C with selected yeasts. The wine rested in tank for four months, preserving the aromatic characteristics, prior to its release.
