Grillo

Grillo Also called Riddu, is a grape variety that is mainly found in Sicily. Originally, the grape is used to make the sherry-like wine Marsala. Nowadays, new planting techniques make it possible to plant the vines closer together so that a higher yield is achieved. This makes it possible to produce a dry white wine from the Grillo grape.
