Feudo Di Santa Tresa - Il Grillo Di Santa Tresa Brut 750ml

Cultivated on the terra rossa red sandy loam soils of Vittoria in southern Sicily, Feudo di Santa Tresa's sparkling Grillo showcases the vibrant potential of this indigenous island grape. Organically farmed just miles from the Mediterranean coast, the vines benefit from constant marine breezes and a limestone sub-base that locks in moisture during dry summer months. By applying a gentle Charmat method fermentation to 100% estate-grown Grillo, Santa Tresa captures the variety's naturally high acidity and saline character before heavy oak or extended lees contact can dull its primary fruit precision.

Fine, persistent bubbles carry aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, and orange blossom over a pale straw-yellow core. The palate opens with a light, crisp physical weight, where a refreshing wave of citrus acidity cuts cleanly through soft notes of green apple, ripe pear, and a subtle sea-salt minerality. Unlike prosecco styles reliant on higher residual sugar for body, this sparkling Grillo maintains a bone-dry, balanced structure and an invigorating, clean finish. In-house testing at USQ showed its versatility across seafood pairings and aperitivo builds-our team recommends serving it well-chilled in a white wine glass alongside fresh oysters and crudo, or stirring 3 oz sparkling Grillo with 1.5 oz Aperol and 1 oz club soda over ice for a distinctly Sicilian Spritz.
