Coste al Vento

“Costa” is a Sicilian word for hillside, where the wind blowing from the Mediterranean Sea brings minerals to the soil and refreshment to vines and people.

Here I grow the Grillo, a native intriguing variety that embodies the inner character of Menfi's terroir with its unmistakable style and unique charm.

Son of a generous land, Coste al Vento delights the palate with a tasty and ripe fruit that melts into saline fragrances, and profits from a prolonged skin contact that enhances the wine’s full and intense personality.
