2020 Elios Modus Bibendi Grillo Bianco - Sicily, Italy (750ml)

Made from the oft-neglected Grillo grape, this expressive and textured white comes from Elios winery’s project to create exciting natural wines from varietals indigenous to Sicily. The grapes are grown Organically with some biodynamic interventions and ferment spontaneously in stainless steel. The wine is then aged for seven months on the Lees, which adds texture and complexity, resulting in a wine that drinks a bit like an Orange despite its lack of skin contact. Expect aromas of lime pith and balsam with a dry, dark palate, medium body, and a mineral finish. Serve alongside heirloom tomato caprese or grilled branzino.
