Gilì - Sotto Scacco, 2023
Sotto Scacco bursts with vibrant citrus, mingling fresh lemon and grapefruit with a touch of poached pear and honeycomb. The mineral backbone, shaped by limestone chalk soil, gives it a thrilling, almost salty edge, while the subtle oak adds creamy texture and a whisper of vanilla. Its lively acidity and complexity make every sip an exciting, mouthwatering experience.

Vinification
The grapes were hand-pressed with care, and the juice fermented in oak barrels, allowing it to develop a rich, nuanced character. After a month of settling, the wine was transferred to stainless steel, retaining its purity and freshness, before being bottled without any filtration—allowing its natural essence to shine through.
