      A fresh and juicy grillo with the kind of lemon and herbal freshness that makes this grape so interesting. Only the touch of tannin makes this qualify as medium-bodied, otherwise the impression is of lightness and crispness. Moderate acidity, but good length. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

    • Wine Enthusiast 88

      The shy nose doesn't give much away. The extremely simple, rather tired and somewhat diluted palate is also not very expressive, offering the barest suggestions of citrus and yellow apple before a salty close. KERIN O’KEEFE

      "Fiordiligi" Grillo DOC Sicilia 2023
    • Fiordiligi is a fine Sicilian white wine, proposed by Assuli and already awarded by Italian and international wine critics. A 100% Grillo from the Mazara del Vallo area, this wine is made from grapes that have reached perfect ripeness thanks to the area's mild climate, with mild winters and warm but breezy summers. Harvesting, however, begins in the first weeks of September, by which time the intense heat of the Sicilian summer is a distant memory. Soft vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, after racking the Fiordiligi matures for about 5 months 'sur lies', i.e. in contact with its fine lees. This process, typical of the most important wines from Burgundy, gives the Sicilian Grillo an extra touch of elegance and complexity. Straw yellow with evident greenish reflections, the nose of this white wine reveals a strong citrus and fruity character that touches on the sweetness typical of tropical fruit. The same picture emerges on the palate, where it is a fresh wine with a perfect harmony of saltiness and minerality. Excellent as an aperitif, it is perfect with fish-based first courses.

      A modern, BIO-certified winery, where the most innovative technologies are used while respecting the environment. This is Assuli, a Sicilian company committed to enhancing the rich regional ampelographic heritage. Autochthonous vines, after all, are one of Sicily's most important assets. Ancient grapes that over the centuries have developed an intimate relationship with the land, adapting to it, almost to the point of merging with it. At Assuli, however, tradition is combined with modern winemaking techniques, capable of enhancing the expressive power of the original grapes, until wines of great character and personality are obtained. Unique wines that leave their mark on the memory of those lucky enough to taste them. An effective response to the global standardisation of taste.
