Grillo, grown at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, stands out for the unique characteristics derived from the mountain environment in which it is cultivated. The vineyard’s significant elevation introduces a series of unique soil and climate conditions that are crucial to the development of the wine’s organoleptic qualities.

The terroir, composed of medium-textured and partly clayey soils, plays a fundamental role in shaping the wine’s characteristics, contributing to its overall structure and the minerality perceived both on the nose and in the mouth. Visually, the wine presents a pale straw yellow color with greenish highlights that suggest freshness and vitality.

On the nose, the intense aromatic expressiveness, with a predominance of tropical and citrus notes, reflects the grape’s ability to develop a rich palette of complex aromas. The presence of aromas such as mandarin, mango, pineapple, and papaya, enriched by floral nuances of heather flowers, highlights how the elevated growing environment positively influences the aromatic concentration and olfactory diversity of the wine.

On the palate, the pronounced minerality and savory character, combined with a distinct freshness, make the wine vibrant and dynamic. These characteristics, combined with the crispness, give Grillo a balanced and dynamic structure, where the well-integrated acidity plays a key role in enhancing the pleasantness of the sip.

The dominant liveliness and freshness are directly attributable to the cool, breezy climatic conditions typical of Pianetto’s high-altitude areas, which allow for a slow and gradual ripening process of the grapes.

Grillo grown at this altitude offers an intriguing interpretation of the grape variety, characterized by freshness and minerality that reflect the terroir in which it is grown, giving the wine a distinctive and appreciable personality.
