Details
Super fresh and zippy, this Grillo's all about juicy orchard vibes - think yellow apple, pear, melon - cut with a pithy hit of grapefruit and lemon. There's a cool herbal edge (hi thyme), a touch of flint, and just the right lick of salinity on the palate. Crazy refreshing, it finishes fruity, tart, and totally moreish!
Let us introduce you to Cantina Birgi - a laid-back legend from the sun-soaked coast of western Sicily, right near the dreamy Stagnone Lagoon. Kicking off in 1960 with just ten local farmers, it’s now a 1,000-strong crew growing grapes across nearly 3,000 hectares. They blend old-school bush vines with modern techniques, keeping it real while turning out seriously high-quality fruit year after year. Birgi’s all about showing off Sicily’s flavour-packed grapes - think Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, and Catarratto - in everything from crisp organics to silky reds and vibrant sparkling wines. They're hands-on in the vineyard and dead set on quality, and it’s paying off - six of their wines just scored wins at the 2024 Wine Hunter Awards, including a Gold for their Zibibbo. Long story short: Birgi is the real deal - rooted in tradition, buzzing with innovation, and bottling pure Sicilian soul.

Pairing guide
The 'Trisole' Grillo is a bright, sun-soaked Sicilian white bursting with citrus pith, juicy apples, and a whisper of sea breeze salinity. Super crisp and super versatile, it’s a dream with grilled prawns, oysters, or a fresh Caprese salad straight from the garden. That zippy acidity and gentle herbal lift also make it a winner with lemony pastas, herby couscous, or soft cheeses. Feeling bold? Try it with sushi rolls or lightly spiced mezze - this wine’s all about elevating the fresh stuff!

Wine region

Sicily, Italy
Sicily is a productive island located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the southern coast of Italy.
The island has a varied landscape, with low coastal plains to hills and even active volcanic mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Disease pressure is low thanks to drying coastal breezes making the region ideal for organic farming practices. The soils are volcanic, sandy, and clay.
Sicily can be divided into three wine regions, including the volcanic Etna DOC on the eastern side of the island, known for its red wines made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. The Marsala DOC on the island's western side is known for its fortified wines. The remaining Southeast of the Island produces a range of wines, notably Frappato and Nero d’Avola.
