Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Grillo is a Sicilian white variety, a natural crossing of Catarratto and Muscat of Alexandria, and for most of its history it was grown to be fortified into Marsala. Its revival as a dry table wine is recent and has been one of the island's quiet successes: it holds acidity well in a hot climate and carries more texture than most Mediterranean whites. Planeta, who did much to modernise Sicilian wine from the 1990s, make it in their approachable La Segreta range, named for the woodland around the Ulmo estate. Expect citrus and white peach with a herbal, faintly saline lift, a touch of the Muscat parentage in the aromatics, and a satisfying weight through the middle. Made for freshness rather than ageing.
