Vino Bianco Solleone - Tenuta Grillo

Vino Bianco Solleone - Tenuta Grillo

The Solleone is a wine of character and not trivial that comes from white grapes. The vineyards grow on sandy, silty soil with a great ability to drain water, located on a gentle plateau at about 350 meters above sea level. Fermentation is spontaneous with long maceration on the skins for about 60 days. Refine in steel tanks on its fine lees for two years. The wine is not filtered before being bottled. The Solleone is golden in color. The impact is explosive on the nose with notes of ripe fruit, orange blossom flowers, honeyed, balsamic and mentholated sensations. On the palate it is warm, fresh, delicately tannic, with a very long closure.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Excellent with first courses or second courses consisting mainly of white meats and fish.

Winery: Tenuta Grillo

Tenuta Grillo is located in the municipality of Gamaler, in the Monferrato area. Guido Zampaglione, a visionary oenologist with a degree in oenology and viticulture at the Catholic University of Piacenza, leads the company. After leaving Naples, where there was the family cereal company, he started looking for a suitable land for his project throughout Italy. It is found here, in the lower Piedmont, a sandy, silty land with a great ability to drain the water, located on a gentle plateau about 350 meters s.l.m. Meanwhile Guido knows Giulio Armani, the winemaker of La Stoppa, who introduces him to the world of natural wines, to which he adheres with conviction. Today the company covers 32 hectares of which 17 are dedicated to vineyards. Black-berry grapes are grown, such as barbera, dolcetto, freisa and merlot, while white, we find cortese, chardonnay and sauvignon. The vineyards are cultivated according to biological dictates, with great respect for nature. In the cellar, Guido, tries to intervene as little as possible so as not to ruin what nature has given him. Spontaneous fermentation, no use of sulfur dioxide, no filtration and refinement in steel tanks or in used wooden barrels. All its wines are surprising, kaleidoscopic, very pleasant to drink, and characterized by long aging.
