Coste al Vento Grillo 2013 | Top Hundred 2015
Golosaria @ MiCo - Milano

We are very happy to announce that our Coste al Vento Grillo Sicilia 2013 has been included among the Top 100 Wines of Italy by the Golosario Wine Guide.

These are the tasting notes that led our Grillo wine to the top of its category:
Coste al Vento is a golden bright wine with an elegant bouquet and notes of Mediterranean shrub, sage and cedar citrus; to the palate it is well balanced, tasty and very fresh, with a long persistent finish.

The official presentation will be held in Milan on October 18th at 11.00 at MiCo - Milano Congressi, the new location of Golosaria 2015.
