Why Era Grillo is a drink-young white
There is no oak and no ageing requirement here, so cellaring adds nothing. Buy the current organic vintage by the case and pour it over its first couple of summers.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Stainless-steel made, no ageing requirement and built on freshness: an entry Terre Siciliane white to drink young, not to lay down.
£9.85 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
