Description
Introducing Donnafugata Sur Sur Grillo 2023, a remarkable white wine hailing from the pristine landscapes of Sicily, Italy. Crafted from high-quality Grillo grapes sourced from the renowned Contessa Entellina estate and nearby areas, this wine embodies the essence of its Mediterranean terroir.
The 2023 vintage faced a ribald challenge with lower winter rainfall but is celebrated for producing grapes of superb quality. Thanks to timely rains in May, the vines thrived through the sweltering July heat, resulting in a yield of exquisitely ripened fruit with vibrant flavors.
- Appearance: Exhibits a brilliant straw-yellow hue that captures the eye.
- Aroma: Offers a captivating bouquet of white stone fruits such as juicy peach and cantaloupe, intertwined with wildflowers and hints of fresh mint.
- Taste: A palate bursting with lively citrus notes and a smooth, fragrant character, highlighting fruits along with a streak of saline minerality.
- Finish: Concludes with a refreshing, vibrant aftertaste that lingers with bright citrus zest and sophisticated mineral undertones.
Well-structured and dry, this wine is not only a delight to sip but also exceptionally versatile when paired with food. For an engaging experience, savor the Sur Sur Grillo 2023 chilled to approximately 8-10°C (46-50°F) in slender tulip glasses that enhance the aromatic profile. Consider these serving suggestions to elevate your enjoyment:
- Pair with grilled Sicilian-style swordfish skewers brushed with citrus and herbs for a delightful regional complement.
- Accompany with fresh burrata drizzled with local Sicilian olive oil and topped with heirloom cherry tomatoes.
- Incorporate into a chilled seafood ceviche marinade for gently poached fish or shellfish infused with citrus and fragrant herbs.
- Create a refreshing white wine spritz by mixing with sparkling water, a splash of elderflower syrup, and fresh mint.
- Serve alongside lemon and caper chicken piccata for a dynamic culinary adventure.
Whether enjoyed as an aperitif during sunlit evenings or paired elegantly with fresh gourmet dishes, Donnafugata Sur Sur Grillo 2023 invites you to partake in the vibrant flavors of Sicilian wines, forging a perfect harmony of taste and tradition.

Storage advice
Store the white wine at a stable temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain its freshness and preserve flavor balance. Avoid fluctuations as they can damage the cork and spoil the wine. Keep the bottle in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage. Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep the cork from drying out which helps maintain the seal and prevents oxidation. Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight.
For unopened bottles these conditions are optimal for preserving quality over time. For opened bottles reseal tightly with a stopper and refrigerate consuming within 2-3 days to maintain freshness. Avoid long-term refrigeration with the cork inserted without specialized seals as this can dry out the cork faster.
Avoid storing white wine in regular refrigerators for extended periods to prevent cork dehydration and premature aging. Use a dedicated wine fridge or a properly controlled cool cellar for best results.
