"Altomare" from the renowned Sicilian winery Barraco is an interesting Grillo in purity with great character and aromaticity that pairs well with fish dishes and white meats. The grapes are carefully selected from different vineyards and the winemaking is done using only indigenous yeasts, aging takes place in Slavonian oak barrels for 15 months. The color is golden yellow with bright reflections and the aromas released recall hazelnuts, shortcrust pastry, and cedar. The sip is creamy, mineral, balanced, and long.

days; a third harvest is late, and the processing follows the oxidative style, with 48 hours of maceration on the skins and aging in 10 hl barrels; finally, the grapes from the fourth harvest are fermented whole cluster. All fermentations occur spontaneously, and the different masses are first blended and then elevated in large Slavonian oak barrels of 25 hl, where they rest for 15 months.

Barraco ‘Altomare’ reveals an intense golden yellow color with brilliant reflections. The bouquet is intoxicating and complex, characterized by notes of cedar and honey accompanied by hints of shortcrust pastry and hazelnuts. Full and enveloping tasting, fresh and mineral, with a savory and persistent finish. A white wine with a baroque style capable of accompanying a wide range of dishes, provided they are rich and flavorful.
