Griddu Verde - Dos Tierras Badalucco

Griddu Verde - Dos Tierras Badalucco 

Griddu Verde is a mineral and sunny white wine that comes from a blend of white grapes. The grapes come from an old vineyard located directly overlooking the sea. Manual harvesting of the grapes and, in the cellar, pressing with the feet and spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with maceration on the skins for 5-10 days. Aging from 6 to 12 months in barrique and tonneau. A wine that shows an intense golden yellow color with orange nuances. The nose offers aromas of ripe white fruit, candied orange, followed by notes of aromatic herbs and salty hints. On the palate it is warm, juicy, slightly salty, with good freshness and delicate tannins on the finish.

Cellar: Dos Tierras Badalucco 

Dos Tierras Badalucco is a reality that is located in Petrosino, a small seaside village in the province of Trapani. Dos Tierras is one of the most compelling love stories of recent years. It all began when Pierpaolo Badalucco, a little over twenty years of age, after graduating in political science, left for Madrid for a two-year master's degree in Economics with the intention of finding a place in the bank. Here he meets Beatriz who will become his wife and the much dreamed job. But after a few years, sick of nostalgia, he decides to return to Petrosino and save 4 hectares of vineyards, before his father sold them. A project was taking shape to create a bridge between the two cultures, and to plant Spanish grapes in the land of Sicily. So alongside the classic Sicilian grapes Nero d'Avola and Grillo, we find Spanish varieties such as Verdejo and Tempranillo. In the vineyards, he tries to respect the environment as much as possible. to safeguard the course of nature in the best possible way. In the cellar, family traditions are followed, in fact the pressing of the grapes is still done with the feet, and fermentations take place spontaneously with only indigenous yeasts naturally present on the skins. The refinements are carried out in barriques.
