Lillo 2024
Sicily, Italy
Grillo (100%) · 2024 · 12.5% abv
Pale yellow with greenish hues, offering citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes. Crisp, elegant, and easy-drinking, it’s a wine that slips down far too easily.
Production
Cryomaceration was followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel to safeguard aromatics. A short period on fine lees added texture without heaviness. Bottled young to retain freshness, with no oak used.
Vineyard
Planted on the Marsala hills at 200–350 m, where breezes from the Tyrrhenian moderate the heat. Soils are calcareous with sandy pockets, giving freshness and fruit lift. The continental-Mediterranean mix brings warm days, cool nights, and a long growing season. Careful vineyard work, including leaf removal, improves sunlight exposure and reduces disease.
Pairing
Pairs effortlessly with seafood pasta, grilled vegetables, or fresh goat cheese. Try it with fried calamari for a true Sicilian match.
