Nero Oro Grillo Appassimento 2022/23, Sicily

It’s very unusual to find a white wine made appassimento-style. That’s what makes this plush Sicilian white so exciting. It’s made by drying a portion of grapes on the vine and a portion in the sun. This method is best known for making decadently rich reds, like Amarone. But this, an appassimento Grillo, is something entirely new. Grillo is a wonderfully aromatic and distinctly Italian white grape. It’s the perfect base for this style of winemaking. Honeyed and full of dried-fruit notes, this has the fresh zing of grapefruit. Not to mention, it’s delicious with Moroccan-spiced rice dishes.
