2025 Caruso e Minini Grillo Naturalmente BIO

100% organic Grillo. Destemmed and cold macerated. Fermented with native yeasts in older oak and acacia tonneaux. Aged in steel with two battonages a day. 13% alcohol.

Located on Sicily’s western-most coast near the town of Marsala, Caruso & Minini boasts a history that harks back to the late 1800’s when Antonio Caruso bought the company to grow grapes for the nearby Marsala factories. The company was passed through subsequent generations until Nino Caruso finally decided to begin making and bottling his own wine in the mid 1900’s. In 2004, Stefano Caruso joined forces with Mario Minini of Lombardy to launch the present-day winery, producing wines from indigenous Sicilian varietals such as Catarratto, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Inzolia, and Nerello Mascalese. Today, Stefano’s daughter Giovanna works closely with her father to head up this historic winery.

90 points, Wine Enthusiast. "Stone fruit aromas of white peach and apricot are set against savory notes of petrol and warm pavement on the nose before the palate emphasizes an overall stoniness, both in the presence of still more peach and then soil, crushed rock and warm cement. "

The winery now boasts 300 acres at 200-400 meters above sea level, including 12.5 acres that are farmed organically and dedicated to Giovanna Caruso’s BIO project.
