Tonnino Grillo


Name: Tonnino Grillo
Variety: Grillo
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $14, on sale for $7.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "Fruit-forward and tangy, this light-bodied, snappy white offers flavors of guava, apricot, candied grapefruit zest and stone. Drink now. 20,000 cases made."

My Impressions:
Thick, syrupy, luscious mouthfeel.  Wow.  It's like candy.  Bright, tangy flavors.  Some fruit, but I couldn't pick out which ones.  I need to start developing my palate a bit.  Outside of dessert wines, especially ice wines, I don't think I've had another white that feels this thick.
