Description
This Sicilian estate just an hour southwest of Palermo source fruit from around the ancient town of Gibellina and of course on Mt. Etna. Tenute Orestiadi is a project born of the Orestiadi Foundation, based in Gibellina, and a local co-op Cantine Ermes.
Sicily is an island with a long tradition of winemaking and Molino a Vento (Tenute Orestiadi) in the hills at Gibellina is a well-known vineyard. They grow indigenous Sicilian varietals. Unique Terroir characterized by different soils, different microclimates and different altitudes create selections of native single vineyards of Tenute Orestiadi.
“Quite simply, the wines of Sicily have never been better than they are right now. The combination of drastically diverse terroirs, a huge uptick in quality and a vast number of varieties has created an embarrassment of riches for the discerning wine lover.” Eric Guido, Vinous Media.
Grown on black silt rich, compacted soils 300 metres above sea level, aging in stainless steel tanks for 3 months and 2 months in bottled before release. A wonderful alternative to Pinot Grigio, Grillo is another native variety to Sicily. Straw coloured, think tropical fruits, fresh herbs (its distinctive green hints) and mouthwatering citrus acidity that unfurls in the glass. Bursts with flavour and is dangerously easy to drink. Serve up the pan fried snapper!
“Through the many tastings that took place for this report, there was nothing like finishing with a short flight of Grillo. Not only does this variety excel at producing exotic and tropical whites that nearly always seem to be green-tinged in nature, but it does so in an energetic and mouthwatering way.” Eric Guido, Vinous Media. “Sicily: The Island Nation, June 2021
