Sicilia DOC Grillo Riserva Firma del Tempo 2023 Fina

What kind of wine is it

The Grillo Riserva "Firma del Tempo" by Cantine Fina is a Sicilian white wine made from 100% Grillo. It is an authentic expression of its terroir, with a strong Mediterranean identity and a pronounced sense of typicity.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from western Sicily, within the Stagnone Nature Reserve, an area characterized by unique climatic and geological conditions. This environment, in close contact with the sea, shapes the saline, mineral character typical of Grillo grown here.

How it is made

The grapes are harvested and undergo destemming and crushing and gentle pressing, followed by static settling of the must. Part of the fermentation takes place in new barriques at controlled temperature, while the wine spends a long time on the fine lees with periodic bâtonnage, a process that enriches its structure and complexity. The process concludes with bottle ageing that further harmonizes its characteristics.

Tasting notes

The wine shows pronounced salinity and freshness, accompanied by iodine notes that recall its maritime origin. On the nose, aromas of citrus, flowers and aromatic herbs emerge, while on the palate it is enveloping and balanced, with a pleasantly persistent finish and a distinctly Mediterranean character.

Food pairings

This Grillo Riserva is perfect with fish, molluscs and shellfish. It pairs just as coherently with fresh cheeses, risottos and white meats, where its salinity and structure find a natural balance.

When to serve it

A versatile wine, suitable both as an aperitif and to accompany an entire meal based on fish or white meats, thanks to its freshness and aromatic persistence.
