Intense and elegant white wine. “Lillo” by Caruso & Minini tells about the biodiversity of the places, the connection between man and nature graphically represented by a label showing sorrel flowers spontaneously growing between the rows of the vineyard. The winemaking preocess involves both cryomaceration of the destemmed grapes at controlled temperature of 4°C for about 4-12 hours ,and static clarification followed by steel aging before bottling. With its wide aromatic flower and fruit profile, this white wine is both suitable for an immediate consumption and able of being included among the Sicilian typical flavours .Lillo stands out for its salty touch on the palate, perfectly in balance with structure and softness.
