Grillo Duca di Castelmonte 2003
(Sicily)
The wine shows an intense straw yellow color and nuances of straw yellow,
very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas that
start with hints of apple, pear and litchi followed by aromas of hawthorn,
broom, pineapple, peach and hints of vanilla. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however
balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is
persistent with flavors of apple, pineapple and pear. Part of this wine
ferments in barrique and ages for two months in bottle.
