Valle dell Acate “Zagra” Grillo 2023

Andy Says: "From our friend Gaetana Jacono Gola, comes one of my favorite Sicilian whites. Made exclusively from Grillo grapes, this aromatic wine shows flavors of pineapple, white flowers, white peach and ripe, Sicilian citrus. Ideal with seafood and Southeast Asian cuisine."

   Valle dell' Acate attributes the remarkable flavor and aromas to the YELLOW SOIL: These vineyards are located along the coast where the soil has a sandy-clay structure and characteristic yellow color. The soil is relatively light, imbuing the wines with freshness and complex scents. Produced here, Zagra is savory and mineral, achieving the fullest possible expression of the elements inherent to yellow soil, proximity to the sea and well-ventilated slopes.
