Feudo Arancio Grillo 2022

Grillo – pronounced gri-low – is to Sicily what Grüner Veltliner is to Austria. It’s the local wine, the one you reach for when you want something that can shine by itself with little obvious winemaking accoutrements, a wine that reflects its origins perfectly, succinctly. Feudo Arancio Grillo falls neatly into that category with the bonus of being brilliant value for money. Grabs you from the first sniff of cut apple, pear, soft garden herb scents of thyme, lemon balm. Mixes the savoury – preserved lemon, saffron, quince paste – and the textural with good depth of citrus-led fruit. There’s a lot to like here including the great price.
