Tasting Notes

Vito Lauria is a Sicilian local. After studying winemaking in Friuli, he returned home in 2005 to take over his family's winery in the west of Sicily, renovating the vineyards, focusing on organic viticulture. He focuses on Sicilian indigenous varieties, like Grillo, Catarratto, Fontane Bianche, and Zibibbo for whites, plus Nero d’Avola, Perricone, Nerello Mascalese and Frappato for reds. His 70 hectares of vineyards are spread throughout Alcamo, ranging from 600-1000 meters and on clay and calcareous soils.

Critical Praise

This Grillo is planted in the hills around Alcamo, around 600-700 meters. Fresh and citrus forward, this medium-bodied white is flooded with tropical pineapple, zesty grapefruit, and aromatic wild sage and mint. Straight from the Mediterranean sunshine, and ideal for summer’s bountiful fare.
