GRILLO DOC SICILY - BARONE DI BERNAJ

Grillo is a classic Sicilian grape that lost popularity during the 1950s and 1960s due to its low productivity. The vineyards are mainly located on the western side of Sicily, in Marsala and adjacent areas. What makes Grillo special is its surprising acidity, despite growing at low altitudes and in a hot, arid climate. It performs well in sandy soils, where it exudes freshness, floral and fruity aromas, such as grapefruit or passion fruit.

Sustainability, transparency, and valuing the territory have been the cornerstones of the Madaudo winery's production philosophy: extracting maximum quality from Sicily's fertile lands, enhancing the peculiarities of the vineyards, interpreting their characteristics, and declining them through different production techniques, from steel to wood, from sparkling wine production in autoclaves to re-fermentation in the bottle, thus enhancing the personality of each grape variety.
