this is a gorgeous, crisp white wine with a slightly herbal dimension and drying mineral tones that frame a solid core of stone fruit, pear and melon. this is the first vintage of a fascinating wine that represents a piece of enological archeology: once-abandoned grillo vineyards on the tiny, but ruined-filled, island of mozia (off the coast of marsala, sicily) have recently been revived. only accessible by boat, this is a dreamy destination for wine tourists.
