Type: Orange Wine (Natural / Organic / Skin-Contact White)
Region: Terre Siciliane IGT, Sicily, Italy
Grapes: 100% Grillo
Alcohol ABV: 12.5–13%
Aroma:
A complex and expressive skin-contact Grillo showing aromas of dried apricot, peach skin, orange peel, and preserved citrus. Layers of chamomile, almond, dried herbs, honey, and subtle spice develop alongside a distinctive Mediterranean saline minerality, giving the wine both richness and freshness.
Palate:
Textured and elegant, with a medium-bodied structure supported by gentle phenolic grip from skin contact. Flavours of dried stone fruits, lemon zest, bitter orange, and ripe pear are balanced by bright acidity and a mineral backbone. The finish is long, savoury, and slightly tannic, offering the complexity of an orange wine while maintaining the freshness and drinkability of Grillo.
The Grillo grapes are harvested from Alessandro Viola’s top vineyards, Santa Ninfa and Pietra Rinosa, before undergoing spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine receives several days of gentle skin maceration to build texture and aromatic complexity, followed by approximately seven months ageing on fine lees in traditional chestnut barrels. Bottled with minimal sulphur, without fining or filtration, Sinfonia di Bianco reflects Viola’s natural winemaking philosophy and pure expression of Sicilian terroir.
The vineyards are located in Alcamo, western Sicily, on hillside sites influenced by the Mediterranean climate and coastal breezes. The organically farmed vines grow on limestone-rich clay and sandy soils, with the warm Sicilian sunshine balanced by maritime influences that help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity in the Grillo grapes.
