Meaning ‘the third way’, this sparkling Grillo is de Bartoli's third interpretation of Grillo after Marsala and the still wines. 20% of the base wine for this pas dosé metodo classico is vinified in French oak, the majority in stainless steel, all using indigenous yeasts. Tirage is done using fresh must rather than sugar, and it rests on its lees in bottle for at least 18 months. Salty lemon and rich brioche scents rise from the glass, with a hint of wild herbs. In the mouth it's bright, saline and creamy, with flecks of orange peel, stone fruits and patisserie accompanying a vibrant, intense citrus and apple core. The finish is fresh and drying, yet with enough residual sweetness to not be tiring. A delicious, classy wine which will shine with seafood, salads or pork dishes. Disgorged in 2023.
