Marco De Bartoli Grillo Integer 2010




"Integer" means, meanwhile, that the interventionist hand of the man is kept to a minimum, despite the attentions are very high. No filtrations, because the liquid is slightly turbid, no sulfur, no stabilization and no clarification.
It macerates for the duration of fermentation - spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts - in oak barrels. Yes, a macerated wine, the kind that I like, those whose the characteristics of the varietal grape are not mortified.

Intact since nose. Sicily 100 percent. I would first to write what is not there. The perfumes are many and very fresh, elegant and strict cleanliness, and the risk of losing someone is right around the corner.
So go with citrus, also confits - citron, orange and tangerine - the pomegranate and apricot, saffron, many dried fruits - almond and fig - then date, resin and fragrant iodine notes.

Integrity also manifesting by the taste. It impresses with freshness and acidity, and all the olfactory equipment that has immediate and amplified confirmations. Masterful in its balance, with a focus turned to the domain alcohol (14.5°!).

Excellent fatness of a structured sip - combined with roast chicken - and adorned with amplitudes, verticality and remarkable persistence. A rich salinity, a lot of almond, fig syrup, date and other marine hints, complete an excellent drink.

Let’s buy one bottle, taste it, and make an honest comparison, with the other macerated wines.
