Feudi Macari Grillo IGT Sicilia

Feudo Maccari is located near Noto in southeastern Sicily, between the baroque city and the Mediterranean coast. The estate’s warm, dry climate is moderated by maritime influences, creating conditions particularly well suited to indigenous Sicilian varieties. The wine is crafted from Grillo, one of Sicily’s signature native white grapes. Grillo naturally retains freshness in the island’s warm Mediterranean climate and is particularly known for citrus, floral and herbal aromas alongside a characteristic saline quality.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright straw yellow with subtle golden-green reflections.

Nose: Expressive citrus leads the way, with grapefruit and preserved lemon joined by white flowers, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle mineral and saline notes. Recent vintages show particularly attractive combinations of citrus, thyme, wild herbs, and sea-salt character.

Palate: Fresh and energetic, with flavours of lemon, grapefruit, orchard fruit, and subtle gooseberry complemented by savoury herbs and a gently nutty character. Bright acidity provides excellent definition, while Grillo’s naturally broader texture gives the wine more substance than a simple light-bodied Italian white.

Finish: Crisp, savoury, and distinctly saline, with lingering citrus, herbs, minerals, and a refreshing Mediterranean character.
