Vignaverde 2022 De Bartoli
Vignaverde 2022 represents the freshest and most fragrant interpretation of Grillo by De Bartoli, a wine designed to highlight the youthful energy of the grape and the unique identity of Contrada Samperi. The vineyards, planted in 1996 and trained with the Guyot system, yield about 60 q/ha and are harvested from the second decade of August to preserve acidity and vibrancy. After a careful manual selection, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing, and the must is left to settle naturally for 48 hours at low temperature. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, driven by indigenous yeasts and with minimal use of sulphites, followed by 6 months of ageing on fine lees, adding texture, complexity and depth.
In the glass, Vignaverde bursts with citrus notes, white flowers and subtle herbal tones, recalling its fresh and “green” character. On the palate it is tense, savory and energetic, with a lively acidity that shapes the entire profile and leads to a clean, refreshing finish. This is Grillo in its most immediate and expressive form, ideal for those seeking a modern, vibrant and terroir-driven white wine. Perfect alongside seafood dishes, wholegrain pasta and traditional Sicilian recipes, best served at 10–12°C.
