Product notes

Coste a Preola is the name chosen to pay tribute to Sicily and its biodiversity: this is the name of the vineyards' area, located in this western part of the island, close to the Mediterranean Sea and to the WWF Nature Reserve Lake Preola and Gorghi Tondi. Coste a Preola Grillo is the wine symbolizing this strong bond between our winery and the oasis.

Production notes

Coste a Preola Grillo grapes' come from 18 years old vineyard, trained with a single Guyot, whose density is 4,600 vines per hectare, with a production of about 8 tons. The soil is composed of a medium-textured limestone substrate tending to sandy. The harvest starts the second decade of August.
