A beautiful Sicilian white. This distinctive local variety (pronounced "Gree-lo") is often presented in blends so this is a rare example! This wine is all about freshness and elegance, with an easy-going nature backed by impeccable quality and classy winemaking and class. From the classic region of Menfi, this is an effortless Sicilian aperitif and fish wine.

Its Origins

"Diego Planeta, along with Giacomo Rallo of Donnfugata and Lucio Tasca d’Almerita, is one of the three founding fathers of the “Sicilian wine renaissance” sparked 10 to 15 years ago. Cousins Francesca, Santi and Alessio Planeta hold the reigns to the estate today and have developed one of the most innovative and modern wine entities in Italy (they are among the most “liked” wineries on Facebook). The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the “Sicily” brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate." Parker's Wine Advocate, Monica Larner

What The Critics Say

89/100 Vinous, Eric Guido

"The 2022 Grillo La Segreta is delicately floral in the glass, showing only lime zest and sour melon nuances. This soothes with its soft textures and vibrant acidity as candied citrus tones and green apple cascade throughout. The 2022 tapers off with a lovely inner sweetness yet crisp and refreshing." Drink 2024 - 2026

91/100 James Suckling (2021 vintage)

"A creamy and minerally white with spiced pear and apple character. Medium to full body. Delicious finish. Real Sicilian wine here. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap."
