A grape variety symbol of Western Sicily
Grillo is one of the most recognizable protagonists of the Sicilian wine scene. Historically linked to the western part of the island, it stands out for its intense aromas, good structure, and a freshness that makes it versatile at the table. In the collection, you will find wines that express the more direct and savory side of the grape, such as Arianna Occhipinti, Pellegrino 1880, Tasca d'Almerita, and Marco de Bartoli, wineries that interpret Grillo with different approaches but always consistent with the territory.

Among the wines present, Bianco SM - contrada Santa Margherita 2023 Grillo DOC and Grillo 2021 Sicilia DOC Contrada Santa Margherita by Arianna Occhipinti stand out, two interpretations that highlight tension, authenticity, and a reading of the territory. Alongside these, Family and Friends IGP Terre Siciliane Bianco Grillo Bio and Salealto 2019 Terre Siciliane IGT by Cusumano expand the selection with a different style, either more immediate or more structured. Completing the picture are labels such as Il Salinaro 2020 Grillo DOC Sicilia and Mozia Grillo by Tasca d'Almerita, along with expressions from Pellegrino 1880 and Marco de Bartoli, up to references like Grillo Rocce di Pietralonga Sicilia 2019 DOC Centopassi.
Tasting profiles and consumption occasions
Grillo is often appreciated for its balance between fruit, savoriness, and body. Depending on the vinification, it can be fresher and more fluid or more intense, broad, and deep. In the same collection, there are also sweet and fortified wines, such as Marsala and perpetual wines, which broaden the understanding of the Sicilian territory and showcase the extraordinary versatility of local grapes. This variety makes the selection interesting for those looking for a white for aperitifs, as well as for those who want a wine to pair with seafood dishes, flavorful first courses, cheeses, or richer preparations.
Why choose a Grillo
Choosing a Grillo wine means bringing to the table an identity-driven white, recognizable and capable of adapting to different consumption moments.
