The Grillo grape is still a relatively young grape variety in commercial terms. It is primarily grown in Sicily, where the unique microclimate allows Grillo to develop exceptionally well. It has a pleasant acidity and a refreshing character. This makes IL Padrino perfect for drinking as soon as the first rays of spring sunshine appear. The aroma is an aromatic palette, where citrus and tropical fruit elegantly interplay. Its summery aroma and flavor are the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely lunch or a pleasant picnic in the park.Product details
