Di Giovanna Grecanico IGT Sicilia 2007

Press

The origin of the grape variety used in this wine is given away by its name, for Grecanico vines were brought with the Greeks when they invaded Sicily around 2,700 years ago. Wines made with it are usually pretty thin and tasteless, though in this instance the Di Giovanna estate has worked wonders to create a rich, full-flavoured wine that’s not unlike Viognier: it has tropical fruit aromas, with more rich fruit in the mouth. The slightly flinty minerality suggests it’s been made without any use of oak. This is evidence that advancements in technology are working wonders in winemaking in Sicily.

Floral wine: orange and mango aromas; yeast and cabbage on the palate. Steely. A full white wine with structure, a full aroma and a dry finish.
