Doppio Passo Grillo Sicilia DOC 2020 - CVCB

For Carlo Botter, the search for the perfect Doppio Passo white wine in Sicily has come to a happy end. CVCB's Doppio Passo Grillo Sicilia DOC  is an impressively fruity, fresh and balanced white wine cuvée vinified from grillo and small portions of Cataratto and Chardonnay. 

In the glass, this wine shines in a clear straw yellow with glittering highlights. The nose is skilfully taken by an intense fruit bouquet. Juicy yellow stone fruits - especially apricot and peach - are perfectly complemented by sun-ripened citrus notes. On the palate, this Italian white wine convinces with a wonderful freshness, intense fruit fullness and mild acidity. The full-bodied body also contributes to the fresh balance of this white wine and accompanies it to the pleasant, elegant finale. 

Vinification of the Doppio Passo Grillo

The grapes - Grillo, Catarratto and Chardonnay - are selected for the  exceptional Doppio Passo Grillo by hand. 

easiest way to explain Doppio Passo is with two passes or work steps. In the first step, the grapes are harvested at the normal harvest time. For the second step, the grapes are left on the vines for longer, increasing ripeness and concentration in the berries. In this white wine, only grillo is harvested in the first step. In the second step, Catarrato and Chardonnay are added. Both grape harvests are combined and fermented together in a stainless steel tank.
