Grillo, grown at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, is distinguished by the unique characteristics that derive from the mountain environment in which it is cultivated. The significant elevation of the vineyard introduces a series of unique soil and climate conditions that are fundamental in the development of the organoleptic qualities of the wine.
The terroir, composed of medium-textured and partially clay soils, plays a fundamental role in the formation of the characteristics of the wine, contributing to its overall structure and the minerality that is perceived both by the nose and in the mouth.
From a visual perspective, the wine has a pale straw yellow color characterized by greenish reflections that suggest freshness and vitality.
The intense aromatic expressiveness of the fragrance with a predominance of tropical and citrus notes reflects the grape's ability to develop a rich palette of complex aromas. The presence of fragrances such as mandarin, mango, pineapple and papaya, enriched by floral nuances of heather blossoms, underlines how the elevated growing environment positively influences the aromatic concentration and olfactory diversity of the wine.
In the mouth, the noticeable minerality and flavor, together with a distinct freshness, make the wine vibrant and dynamic. These characteristics, together with its crispness, give Grillo a balanced and dynamic structure, where the well-integrated acidity plays a key role in enhancing the pleasant taste.
The dominant freshness and vivacity are directly attributable to the cool and breezy climatic conditions typical of the high-altitude areas of Pianetto, which allow the grapes to slowly and gradually ripen.
Grillo grown at this altitude offers an intriguing interpretation of the grape, characterized by freshness and minerality that reflect the territory in which it grows, giving the wine a distinctive and appreciable personality.
