Azienda Agricola Flavia Sicilia Grillo Avà 2020

Flavia Avà Grillo is produced from 10+ year old Grillo vines growing in the historic Rallo family’s vineyards of Marsala inherited in 1860, located between Contrada Birgi and Paolini—-a stone's throw from the Riserva dello Stagnone and the historic salt pans of Marsala. This unfiltered bottle is delightful, with fresh apple and pear flavors, hefty mineral content, and a floral finish. Surprisingly dry considering these flavors, this would pair well with shellfish or a bright Mediterranean salad.
