Description
The 2023 Tenuta Rapitalà 'Viviri' Grillo Sicilia DOC is an organic, medium-bodied white wine from western Sicily, Italy. Made from organically grown Grillo grapes harvested from high-altitude hillside vineyards (sitting roughly 900 to 1,300 feet up on the Rapitalà estate) planted in clay, pebble, and sandy soils.
Pale straw-yellow with vibrant greenish highlights. Aromas of intense white pulp fruits, citrus blossom, ripe pear, and a distinct coastal or saline/sea-breeze character with hints of crushed shells and herbs. Vivid, juicy, and crisp on the palate featuring flavors of fresh lemon, lime, grapefruit, green apple, and white peach, balanced by a bright, teeth-tingling acidity and a clean, mineral-driven, salty finish.
James Suckling - 90 Points Described it as vivid, juicy, and well-composed. His review noted an abundant profile of lemons, warm herbs, and subtle hints of cedar, delivering a medium-bodied white with a delicate and seductive character on the palate.
