Grillo Carolina Marengo for Kisa

Paolo Panerai is the enlightened entrepreneur to whom we owe the success of a historic Chianti Classico winery such as Castellare di Castellina, and the birth of the Feudi del Pisciotto winery which extends for 44 hectares on the hills between Caltagirone and Piazza Armerina in the heart of Sicily. The main grape is Nero d’Avola, and the winery is characterized by the historic millstone in which wine was made already at the time of the Greeks and Romans. It’s here that 250 meters above sea level, a few kilometers from the coast where a perfect microclimate reigns, the vines are cultivated with obsessive care and excellent wines are produced from Cerasuolo di Vittoria to Frappato, from Chardonnay to Merlot that make Feudi del Pisciotto one of the most significant winemaking realities of the island. Worthy of note is the collection dedicated to the Great Stylists who sign the individual labels in a tribute to wine and fashion, and part of the proceeds from sales are reinvested for the recovery of a Sicilian work of art or monument.

The Grillo Carolina Marengo by Feudi del Pisciotto is a white with good structure that appreciates aging, and seduces the palate with its warm and dry taste. The grapes grown in the Niscemi vineyards are harvested in September, and vinified in steel and then aged in barrique for the first 8 months, and in the bottle for the following 8. Ideal if combined with tuna or swordfish dishes.
