2022 Nicolo' Grippaldi Il Vino Di Pico Sicilia DOC

The 2022 Il Vino di Pico from Nicolò Grippaldi is crafted in the sweeping high-altitude hills of the Province of Enna in central Sicily under the broader Sicilia DOC. This biodynamic red blend brings together roughly 50 % Nero d’Avola and 50 % Nerello Mascalese, allowing the rugged, high-altitude terroir to speak clearly. On the nose you’ll find dark berry fruits—blackberry, ripe cherry—layered with warm spice and subtle earth-tones. The palate is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine tannins and a hint of minerality beneath the glimmering red-fruit core, leading to a smooth but lingering finish. Pairing beautifully with robust Italian fare, this wine shows especially well alongside tomato-rich pasta dishes, grilled sausages, herb-roasted lamb or a wood-fired Sicilian pizza, and will continue to evolve gracefully in the cellar over the next few years.
