Berebene award for Grillo 2019 from Masseria del Feudo

Colour: Straw yellow colour with golden reflections.

Nose: It opens with delicate aromas of citrus, acacia honey and flowers. Spicy flavours of white pepper and black currant.

Taste: The fruit taste keeps the fullness and sweetness, well supported by salty and acidity.

The Grillo 2019 has not only been awarded by Berebene, but also recently received 88 points from Vinous: 

“Sweet baked apple and pears complemented by nuances of autumnal spice waft up from the 2020 Grillo. This is soft and round, offset by brisk acids and minerals, as ripe orchard fruits flesh out across the palate. Hints of sour citrus and inner herbal tones linger as this tapers off with freshness. “
