Notes
Alessandro Viola’s 2017 50 Gradi all’Ombra is made of 100% Grillo, from late-harvested vines planted on clayey soil at 220 metres altitude. After a manual harvest at the end of September, the grapes were destemmed and pressed into stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts, without additions or temperature control. Afterwards, the wine was aged for twelve months in stainless steel. It was then bottled unfiltered and unfined, with 35mg/l of sulphites added at bottling.


Alessandro Viola’s 2017 50 Gradi all’Ombra has a deep golden color with a luxurious and deep nose, filled with aromas of dried fruit, roasted peach, honey and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate it’s full-bodied, nectar-like and richly sweet, with lively acidity that keeps it exciting and notes of raisins, dried apricots, ginger and herbs. Pairs perfectly with chocolate and caramel desserts.
