Cantine Colosi Grillo Sicilia 2024 Vegan 750ml

Cantine Colosi Grillo Sicilia — Sicily, Italy 2024

Grillo is one of Sicily's most fascinating indigenous white grapes — once prized as the backbone of the island's famous Marsala, it fell out of fashion as fortified wine declined, only to be rediscovered by a new generation of Sicilian producers who recognized its potential as a fresh, clean, expressive varietal wine. Cantine Colosi, based on the Aeolian Islands and the Sicilian mainland, is one of those producers: a family winery with deep roots in the island's winemaking tradition, committed to showcasing Sicily's native varieties with honesty and craft. Their Grillo is certified vegan and made to express the grape's natural freshness and aromatic character without intervention.

The 2024 pours a pale straw yellow. The nose is intense and inviting — fresh floral aromas, golden apple, stone fruit, tropical hints, and a savory herbal note that speaks to the Sicilian terroir. On the palate, it's bright and lively with orange zest, grapefruit, white peach, and a clean, sapid, refreshing finish of genuine length. Wonderfully balanced and endlessly food-friendly.

"Fresh floral aromas, stone fruits and herbs. Bright, with lively acidity, orange zest, grapefruit, white peaches and savoriness on the palate. Wonderfully balanced with a generous crisp, refreshing finish." — Debra, Italy White Wine Buyer, 67Wine
