A few months back, we looked at the Nerello Mascalese from Molino a Vento. The white in the stable is made from Grillo. Simple and straightforward, this is a wine that wears its Sicilian heart on its sleeve.
Complex it may not be, but with its candied preserved lemon accented fruit, it is the perfect cantina wine for dishes such as freshly grilled swordfish steak with capers, salt and pepper calamari or chicken tagine.
2016 MOLINO A VENTO GRILLO
Variety: Grillo
Region: Sicily, Italy
ABV: 12.5%
Closure: Natural cork
Retail Price: $20.00
Date tasted: 25 January 2018
Tasting Note:
Intense lemon yellow. Direct nose of lemon pith and candied preserved lemon. Dry, medium bodied, simple and straightforward. Slightly mouth-puckering (in a good way) candied lemon. Lively acidity carries the finish. Holding up well.
Score: 15.5/20
