Grillo Punto 8 Sicilia, Ottoventi 2023
The organically grown vines for this Sicilian white are in sight of the sea, sitting at the foot of a spectacular inland cliff. There is freshly squeezed lime and apricot on the nose, and a vibrant crisp and dry style on the palate, making it a wonderful white wine to enjoy with fresh seafood, dressed salads or just as it is on a sunny terrace!

Ottoventi
Located just outside Trapani in north-west Sicily, this estate is owned by Antonio Manzara, a Trapani accountant, along with his daughter Sara and son Francesco. The family has been bottling its wines since 1996, and chose the name Ottoventi – which translates as ‘eight winds’ – as a symbol of the diversity of the landscape in this part of Sicily.
Antonio and his family own 40 hectares of vines outside Trapani, 70% of which are white, and 8 hectares are beneath the imposing hills of Erice.
Winemaker Isabella Tunbarilla and her consultant Guzzo (who was with Regaleali for 25 years) are particularly expert at making the most of local white grape varieties grillo, zibibbo and catarratto.
