"The 2024 Bianco G, a varietal Grillo, is decidedly savory in the glass as musky nectarine blends with white smoke and rosemary. It's soothingly round, with salty minerals alongside notes of tangerine and ginger. The 2024 closes wickedly fresh, leaving hints of sour green melon elevated by a bump of residual acidity. This takes Grillo to a very serious place."
