Grillo

Grillo is a white grape variety widespread above all in western Sicily and in the Marsala area. Recent discoveries trace its origin to the Agrigento municipality of Favara, from a cross between the native Sicilian varieties Cataratto and Zibibbo. It is a medium-late ripening grape and produces a straw yellow colored wine, from which wines with typical herbaceous and floral scents, of great freshness, derive. We can find the grillo grape in Sicilian appellations including Alcamo DOC, Contea di Sclafani DOC and Mamertino DOC, it is also the essential basis for the production of Marsala.
