Grillo In Purezza from Baglio di Pianetto is grown on elevated Sicilian vineyards and showcases the variety in a bright, Mediterranean style. The bouquet offers lemon, grapefruit and ripe yellow plum, alongside orange blossom, wild herbs and a hint of sea breeze. On the palate the wine is crisp and juicy, with vibrant acidity, a touch of salinity and flavours of citrus, mandarin and a little mango. The texture is linear and cool, yet surprisingly mouth-filling. A gently pithy, refreshing finish makes this Grillo a natural partner for grilled fish, seafood, vegetable dishes and antipasti. Serve well chilled to underline its precision and coastal charm.

The winery was founded in 1997 by Count Paolo Marzotto, and its materials present sustainability as a project in constant evolution. The identity is built on two poles: the Pianetto estate near Palermo (Santa Cristina Gela) and Contrada Baroni in the Val di Noto. That split lets the house play tension—upland freshness and inland lift on one side, coastal Mediterranean ease on the other....
