Overview

Alagna Grillo Griari 2024 is a fresh and expressive Sicilian white wine produced by Baglio Baiata under the Alagna name. From the outset, this wine focuses on clarity, freshness and balance.

Grape & Region

This wine uses 100% Grillo, one of Sicily’s most important native white grape varieties. Grillo thrives in the warm Sicilian climate. However, cooling sea influences help preserve acidity and aromatic freshness. Therefore, the grape produces wines that combine citrus brightness with subtle herbal notes. In addition, the sun-exposed vineyards contribute ripe fruit without heaviness.

Vinification

The winemaking team ferments the wine at controlled temperatures in stainless steel. This approach protects the purity of the fruit. As a result, the wine retains its fresh aromatics and clean structure. The wine then rests briefly on fine lees, which adds texture while maintaining freshness. Importantly, the process avoids oak influence so the grape remains the focus.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, the wine shows a bright straw-yellow colour with green highlights. On the nose, fresh lemon peel, grapefruit and white blossom appear first. Meanwhile, light herbal notes add complexity. On the palate, the wine tastes crisp and zesty. Citrus and orchard fruit flavours lead, while a gentle mineral edge follows. Overall, the finish feels clean, refreshing and well balanced.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its bright acidity, this Grillo pairs easily with food. For example, it works well with grilled fish, shellfish and seafood pasta. In addition, it complements salads, light risottos and lemon-based dishes. Many customers also enjoy it as an aperitif, particularly in warmer weather.

Why Buy This Wine

If you are looking for a fresh Sicilian white wine with citrus character and balance, this Grillo is an excellent choice. It offers drinkability without sacrificing flavour. Therefore, it suits both casual drinking and food pairing. Overall, it delivers great value and classic Sicilian freshness.
