TENUTA RAPITALA GRILLO ORGANIC 2022

n the diverse tapestry of Sicily's wine landscape, Tenuta Rapitalà stands as a remarkable fusion of Sicilian soul and French finesse. Established after a devastating earthquake in 1968, this historic estate spans over 550 contiguous acres divided into 180 unique vineyard parcels, each offering distinct terroir expressions. The sun-drenched Mediterranean climate, combined with Sicily's varied elevations and soil compositions, creates the perfect environment for cultivating the indigenous Grillo grape. The estate's commitment to quality is evident in their meticulous approach—harvesting each parcel separately over a season stretching from August to November. Under Laurent de la Gatinais' leadership, Rapitalà has embraced sustainable practices and begun organic certification for select vineyards.

Viviri Grillo captivates with its luminous golden-yellow hue tinged with green reflections. This vibrant white wine opens with an aromatic bouquet of Mediterranean herbs, delicate wildflowers, and bright citrus zest. On the palate, it delivers a refreshingly light and crisp character—think sun-ripened lemons, crisp green apples, and subtle notes of almond. The wine finishes clean and invigorating, making it a perfect companion for seafood dishes or as an elegant aperitif on warm summer evenings.
