2022 Centopassi \’Rocce di Pietra Longa\’ Grillo Sicilia IGT

Centopassi single vineyard

The Rocce di Pietra Longa is 100% Grillo from the Pietralunga vineyard, located near the town of Corleone. The vineyard can be recognized by a tall stone (the Pietra Lunga), about 100 feet high, nearby. Vines were planted in stony alkaline clay soil with many rocky outcroppings. Pale straw yellow color in the glass.

Gorgeous intense mouthwatering aromas of lemon, marzipan and wet stones. Outstanding lively fresh palate impression, by far the best example of the variety Ive had. Very long, very concentrated. A delicious, mineral, serious white wine from an unexpected source. Maybe even age-worthy. This grillo can stand with some of Italys best white wines.
