Firriato Altavilla della Corte Grillo

The Grillo bred on the Borgo Guarini estate fully expresses the peculiarities of the terroir of origin. The hilly climate, with its greater temperature variations compared to the coastal area, gives these grapes a richer and more intense aromatic complement, composed of thiols and aromatic precursors. It is the rising vine of Sicilian winemaking which is usually grown near the coast. Firriato, however, chose to raise it in the hilly areas of the Borgo Guarini estate which is characterized by a microclimate subject to greater temperature variations which, in combination with the action of the wind, allow the obtaining, in vinification, of a wine with an aromatic broad and with greater freshness, if compared to other wines based on Grillo grapes traditionally grown along the coast.
