Floridea Grillo Chardonnay Feudo Arancio 2024
Why it's worth a try
Two complementary grapes join forces in this Sicilian white blend. Indigenous Grillo brings distinctive character with citrus and almond notes, while Chardonnay adds body and a touch of tropical fruit. Fresh and vibrant with Mediterranean sunshine in every glass, it offers more complexity than single-varietal alternatives at this price point. The result is a versatile white that works equally well as an aperitif or alongside seafood and light pasta dishes.
