Grillo Costadune Mandrarossa
Grillo Mandrarossa - Sicilian white par excellence
The Grillo by Mandrarossa is a Monovarietal white wine obtained from the native Sicilian vine par excellence. It represents the most authentic expression of the Menfi territory, where the type of soil, its exposure, the microclimate ensure that each cultivar has a distinctive and unrepeatable personality. Sipping this Grillo, you will discover a fresh and young Sicilian wine with notes of citrus, medlar, prickly pear and basil, typical aromas of our Sicily.
