Have you been curious to find out what all the buzz is surrounding Orange/Natural Wine? This is your chance!
The abundance of amazing old vineyards in Marsala available for pennies (it is the most heavily planted wine region in the EU) meant that winemaker Manuela Rendina was able to obtain fruit from the most famous sites and eventually to lease her own block of vines, a parcel of Grillo on a vast ancient seabed, covered by sand that blows from Africa and speckled with limestone and marine fossils. This is an incredible place to grow vines and the Grillo grapes which were once harvested at 16% for Marsala, when picked at 12% yield an amazingly fresh and saline palate. Maunela’s 100% Grillo is from limestone and sandy solis, sees a quick 48 hours on the skins, and is fermented and aged in steel. Golden in the glass, stone fruit and tropical melon mix with headier notes of honeysuckle, sultanas, and salted caramel apple. This has some zing to it, as yellow pear and tart green apple notes are carried on a bright, beachy beam of acidity. Fresh, mineral-driven, and refreshingly unadorned, just a ‘sunshine-in-glass’ kind of interpretation of Marsala’s soils, winds, and the proximity to the sea.
