2025 Technical Specifications

Alcohol 12.5%
pH 3.28
Total Acidity 6.25 g/L
Grape Varieties 100% Grillo
Drinking Window Drink young; the producer suggests evolution over the next 2 years
Classification Sicilia DOC
Region Sicily
Estate Grown Yes
Pressing Method Soft Pressing After Destemming
Closure Stelvin
Production Details Dispensa vineyard and winery; certified organic and SOStain. Grapes were hand harvested and destemmed, softly pressed, and the must was statically settled for 24–36 hours. Fermentation occurred at about 15°C, followed by lees maturation and maturation in stainless steel. The sheet says “Bottling: January 2025,” but that date precedes the 2025 harvest and is therefore withheld from the canonical bottling-date field as an apparent producer-sheet date error.
Tasting Notes Light yellow with greenish highlights; citrus including cedar and kumquat, white peach, tropical fruit, sage and freshly cut grass; fresh, smooth palate with youthful liveliness
Food Pairing Aperitif; fried vegetables and fish; Sicilian street food and seafood; pasta with sea urchins; mozzarella and other fresh cheeses
