Midia Grillo Terre Siciliane - 2023 (750ml)

This white wine is made by female winemaker, Manuela Rendina who started making wine in just 2018.  Rome, ready to chart her own personal agricultural and wine journey. ‘Midia’ is short for her grandmother’s name, Emidia, an homage to the woman who taught her love and respect for the earth.  She and her partner utilize a philosophy of minimal intervention from grape growing using biodynamic principles and spontaneous fermentation.

She sources her Grillo from a leased vineyard which features soils base on a vast ancient seabed, covered by sand that blows from Africa and speckled with limestone and marine fossils. The grapes are harvested at 12% potential alcohol and see a quick 48 hours on the skins prior to fermentation.
