Grecanico Bio - Baroni di Pianogrillo

The Grecanico Bio from the wine region of Sicily reveals itself in the glass in a luminous gold-yellow color. Poured into a white wine glass, this Italian white wine displays wonderfully youthful aromas of apricot and lemon, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and, despite its dryness, delights with a fine balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine feels wonderfully light. The finish finally impresses with notable length. Again, hints of apricot and lemon are present. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils also add to the experience.

Vinification of the Grecanico Bio by Baroni di Pianogrillo

The balanced Grecanico Bio from Italy is a single-varietal wine, organically vinified from the Grecanico grape variety. In Sicily, the vines producing the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. The grapes for this Italian white wine are harvested exclusively by hand when perfectly ripe. After harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here, they undergo sorting and gentle crushing. The fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Grecanico Bio can further harmonize on the fine lees for 6 months.
