2021 Caruso e Minini Grillo Late Harvest 'Tagós' 500mL

100% organic Grillo. Hand harvested in October, after the fruit has ripened fully and slightly dried on the vine. Destemmed by hand, fermented and aged in tonneaux (large, old oak casks). 110g/L residual sugar. 13% alcohol. This is a classic vino da meditazione (meditation wine) designed to be sipped and savored on its own. It beautifully complements fruit-based desserts, traditional Sicilian sweets (cannoli, cassata), and salty or blue cheeses. Pours a beautiful dark golden color and gives off a gorgeously aromatic nose of apricot, peach, honey, anise, mint and sweet orange. Very sweet, but with plenty of acidity and a pleasantly tangy citrus and chalky mineral note underneath. Like drinking a glass of the Sicilian sun! Located on Sicily’s westernmost coast near the town of Marsala, Caruso & Minini’s history dates back to the late 1800’s when Antonio Caruso bought the company to grow grapes for the nearby Marsala factories.
