Vito Lauria is a long time friend of Woodwinters and we have delighted in presenting his evolving range of wines since his return to his native province of Alcamo in the north of Sicily. The Balio range - named after the gardens high on Mount Erice in nearby Trapani - is our new collaboration with Vito. We took the opportunity to showcase Vito's knowledge, in tandem with his local contacts and the long-heralded climate of the island, to produce organic wines that deliver fruit, balance and pleasure with ease.
Balio Grillo 2024
12% abv
Vol- 75cl
A wonderful Grillo with all that salty, ripe peach and canteloupe melon bouncing with the snap of green apple, sage and citrus crush.
Grillo sings in the highest register of the Sicilian whites. 100% Grillo (associated with the cricket whose Italian name it shares but is actually a reference to grilli – a Sicilian name for ‘pips’ ) sourced from Vito’s favourite organic partners in Alcamo and beyond. Fermented in Steel with light lees aging to deliver a pure, unadorned exemplar of the grape.
