Tasca d'Almerita Fondazione Whitaker Estate 2023 "Mozia" Grillo

"The 2023 Grillo Mozia is youthfully coy yet bursting at the seams, revealing a delicate blend of chamomile, green melon and hints of candied lime. This blends savory and sweet, with ripe orchard fruits and silky textures offset by a stream of zesty acidity. Sweet herbal tones emerge toward the close. This tapers off with tremendous length and a salty tinge, leaving a green citrus resonance to gradually recede. The Mozia hails from albarello-trained vines growing in sandy soils, at and slightly below sea level. This is one of the most characterful Grillos produced in Italy today." - 92 PointsVinous Media

Mozia is a small island in the Marsala lagoon with an incredible history. Thanks to its microclimate and soils, it makes for an absolutely unique site of production. This marine ecosystem has always been closely linked to winemaking, as vines were first planted here in the early 19th century by the English, who, having arrived in Marsala sensed the potential of Mozia. Today we take care of about 13 hectares of vineyards, surrounded by archaeological sites dating back to Phoenician times expertly preserved into present day by the Whitaker Foundation. Winery Notes
