Grecanico Sketta - Cantina Marilina

With the Cantina Marilina Grecanico Sketta, a first-class organic white wine finds its way into the well-polished wine glass. It displays a wonderfully radiant golden-yellow color. On the nose, this Cantina Marilina white wine reveals all sorts of lemons and acacia. As if that were not already impressive, further aromas such as bitter almond join in thanks to maturation in concrete.

On the palate, Cantina Marilina’s Grecanico Sketta starts off delightfully dry, firm, and aromatic. Balanced and multi-layered, this fleshy and crisp white wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this wine from the Sicilian wine-growing region delights with lovely length. Hints of lemon and acacia appear once again. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils also join in.

Vinification of Cantina Marilina Grecanico Sketta

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Grecanico. Only flawless grape material was used for this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Cantina Marilina. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into limestone soils. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. After fermentation has ended, the Grecanico Sketta can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 9 months.
