What to Pair

Grillo's salinity and acidity make it a natural companion for coastal, bright-flavored dishes:

  • Grilled shrimp with green chili and cilantro
  • Pasta alle vongole
  • Grilled halloumi with lemon

About the Producer

Grillo is one of Sicily's indigenous white grapes that was originally linked to the production of sweet wine from western Sicily, specifically Marsala. 

 

The Caruso family is reclaiming the narrative around white wine from western Sicily by highlighting Grillo as a dry white wine with depth and finesse, something that Marsala is often characterized as lacking. 

 

Much less well-known than its Eastern-Sicily counterparts, the Caruso family aims to earn western Sicily wines a place at our table, and deservedly so, in my opinion.

Why I Chose this Wine

Most people's first encounter with Grillo is through Marsala, a wine with a long and storied history that doesn't always get the recognition it deserves today. 

 

But dry Grillo is a different conversation entirely. 

 

The Caruso family farms right in the heart of Marsala country and decided to make something saline, fresh, and honest alongside that tradition. 

 

I love wines that make you rethink a place. This is one of them.
