Caeles Grillo Sicilia DOC

Terroir and wine-making

In the varied terroir of the Borgo Guarini estate, on clay soil particularly suitable for hosting the rows of Grillo, Firriato is dedicated to the care of its vines in full respect of the nature of a cru so characteristic and unique. The legume manure technique, which uses the properties of plant organisms to feed the soil, is just one of the practices aimed at maintaining the natural habitat. Between the end of August and beginning of September, the fruits are ripe to leave the vineyard and move to the cellar, where only the best ones become protagonists in the long winemaking process aimed at enhancing their innate peculiarities.

Notes of taste

The Grillo Sicilia DOC Caeles di Firriato is characterized by an intense straw yellow color and a rich bouquet of white fruit pulp and citrus, mineral. On the palate it expresses its freshness and body in a balanced, soft and savory sip.

Wine at the table

Caeles Grillo is a versatile wine in combinations: it goes well with all dishes based on fish, from starters to second courses. Also good as an aperitif.

Curiosity

The purity of the Grillo grapes is fully expressed in the Caeles di Firriato, thanks to the particular attention that the winery shows towards those fruits of nature that in the rural setting of the Borgo Guarini estate mature to their maximum capacity. In 2007, Firriato was officially recognized for its organic viticulture, a commitment that the winery has been pursuing for over thirty years, demonstrating its deep connection with a land cradle of prosperity.
