Description
Grillo vines are the flagship of our varieties. For this wine, we have chosen the highest hill in order to exalt its freshness and flavour. We put it into tonneaux to trap its body giving it a delicate note of oak and acacia. Such good care for a wine symbol of western Sicily. Intensity and elegance are the perfect mixes of this wine. Wide bouquet with a natural delicacy.

Vinification
Cryomaceration of the destemmed grapes in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 4° C for 4-12 hours. Soft pressing of the grapes, static clearing of the must and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16°C in oak and acacia tonneaux.

Food Match 
The most refined fish and vegetable-based pastas are the perfect matches for this wine. The hallmark dish to paired with grillo is grilled swordfish. Quite surprising how it can wedge itself in among the flavours of the Sicilian cuisine.

At the heart of Veeno lies our own vineyard in Sicily, Caruso & Minini, where generations of winemaking expertise come to life.

Our family has been producing wine for over a century, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Nero d’Avola, Grillo, and Zibibbo. These wines are crafted using a balance of tradition and innovation, ensuring that each bottle delivers a genuine taste of Italy. By producing our own wines, we can guarantee exceptional quality, consistency, and authenticity—something that sets Veeno apart from the rest.

Our wine selection is a carefully curated journey through Italy’s finest regions.

We specialise in wines from our own Sicilian vineyard while also showcasing a hand-picked collection from other premium Italian winemakers. Many of these wines come from small, independent producers—hidden gems that you won’t find on supermarket shelves. These boutique winemakers focus on quality over quantity, producing wines with true personality and a sense of place. Our range includes everything from light and refreshing whites like Inzolia and Falanghina to bold, complex reds like Barbera and Nero d’Avola. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or just beginning your exploration, our wines are selected to ensure a rich, enjoyable experience.
