CAMURRÌA ORANGE 2021 Review

In Sicily, the white wine grape Grillo has historically been used mostly for blending. It is light and crisp with a little depth, and over the past couple of decades, the grape has seen new life with lower yields making more interesting wines. But it’s when this variety is in contact with its skins that it takes on a whole new...well, everything. This awesome wine shows that in eye-opening clarity. The nose literally smells like the richness of clay balanced by peachy stone fruit aroma along with muddled apricots. This carries over to the palate which adds a wonderful savory note. This is a wonderful wine giving an ancient grape yet another layer.
