Firriato
Altavilla Della Corte Siciliae Grillo
Sicily, Italy
This wine loaded with minerality. The lemon-lime and “wet rocks” notes really are appealing. There is also a sense of dried apricot that comes through. On the palate, the acidity is fresh and razor-sharp and the minerals make an even stronger push. I even pick up a note of the sea in there, but that happens every time I drink Sicily. It may be a trick of the vine. Pair this with shrimp scampi, sautéed calamari or escargot for a real treat.
