Unlike many other Sicilian varieties, grillo is not an ancient grape, it was actually created in 1873 by agronomist Antonio Mendola by crossing the regional grapes: fresh catarratto and aromatic zibibbo (aka muscat of Alexandria). Salty lime gatorade, peony, sand pear, white peach, flowering mint and sage, clay \u0026amp; chalky minerality to close out. Enjoy with shrimps doused in garlic butter, battered and fried shrimps or shrimps fresh off the fire. \u003c!-- notionvc: 68714718-1e18-4202-8c63-8f1aabbbbfb0 --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 696e94d2-5f74-4bb0-bddc-5964be790467 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luna Gaia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43317001289906,"sku":"WINE-ORSOGNA-LUNA-GAIA-AGRAMANTE-GRILLO","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/7396\/2930\/files\/10_12_23_37.jpg?v=1739645255"},{"product_id":"zan-white","title":"‘Zan White’","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRumeni Plavec, Muscat, Traminec, Žametna Črnina, Pinot Blanc, Riesling \u0026amp; Kraljevina, Lower Styria, Slovenia\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine we imagine would be toasted in Midsommer as a blood moon rose high overhead.
