The Vaccaro family has been cultivating grapes and making wine for three generations. Founder Giuseppe Vaccaro knew that his land, located in the province of Palermo, had the soil and weather conditions to make great wines. Starting with native grapes catarratto and nerello mascalese, then with his son Calogero expanding his holdings to include vineyards planted to nero d'avola, grillo, and syrah, he let the terroir be the guiding force that drove the quality of his beautiful cuvées. Today, his son and grandson Giuseppe have taken over the winery and continue to produce incredible wines.Â
The 2020 Case Alte Grillo "Filari 4", vinified and aged in stainless steel, is medium-bodied, with aromas and flavors of grapefruit, elderberry, and figs layered with delicate notes of orange blossom and wet stone. The finish is clean and persistent, with bright acidity and lingering notes of citrus fruits.
