Cusumano Grillo Shamaris Monte Pietroso 2025

Cusumano Grillo Shamaris Monte Pietroso 2025 is a bright, characterful Sicilian white that shows why Grillo has become one of the island’s most admired native grapes. Fresh, Mediterranean, and effortlessly versatile, it combines citrus-driven energy with the subtle texture and depth that make Sicilian whites so appealing. With Cusumano’s modern approach and Sicily’s long winemaking heritage behind it, this is a wine that feels both authentic and contemporary.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale straw color with lively greenish reflections, suggesting freshness and clarity. The nose is expressive and clean, with notes of lemon zest, white peach, ripe citrus, and delicate floral and herbal hints. On the palate, it is usually crisp and well-balanced, offering juicy fruit, bright acidity, and a subtle saline touch that reflects its island origins. Grillo often brings more body and texture than a simple light white, so expect a supple mid-palate and a refreshing finish. This style is best enjoyed young, while its fruit and vibrancy are at their peak, though it can develop a little extra roundness over the next couple of years.

Production
Made from Grillo grown in Sicily, this wine reflects the warm Mediterranean climate and the influence of breezes and mineral-rich soils that help preserve freshness in the grapes. Harvesting is typically done with care to maintain aromatic intensity and natural acidity, with vinification aimed at capturing the purity of the variety. Fermentation in stainless steel is commonly used for this style to emphasize freshness, fruit expression, and a clean, precise finish.

Food & Serving
A great match for seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, light pasta dishes, and fresh salads, this wine also works beautifully with Mediterranean starters and vegetable-based cuisine. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary.
