Firriato Altavilla della Corte Grillo D.O.C.
The Grillo grapes grown on the Borgo Guarini Estate fully convey the
uniqueness of their terroir of origin. The hillside climate, with
greater differences in temperature in comparison to areas on the coast,
endows these grapes with a richer and more intense aromatic profile,
consisting of thiols and aromatic precursors.

Description
It is a vine on the rise
in Sicilian oenology, where it is usually cultivated near the coast. Firriato, however, has chosen to grow it on the hillside area of the
Borgo Guarini Estate. This area is characterised by a microclimate that
is subject to a marked difference in temperature, which together with
the action of the wind, allows them to obtain wines with a vast aromatic
spectrum during the wine making process. These wines are fresher in
comparison to wines produced from Grillo grapes cultivated on the coast.
