Canta Del Grillo 2021 is a natural wine crafted by Abbazia San Giorgio, on the hot and volcanic Pantelleria region, close to Sicily, Italy. This richly coloured orange wine is made with 100% Grillo grapes.

The processing of Canto del Grillo generally begins in the first week of September when the grapes, having reached ripeness, are ready to be harvested. After being selected and cut, the bunches are transported to the cellar, then destemmed and crushed. Fermentation begins spontaneously by indigenous yeasts. The maceration phase lasts for about 12 days, during which the skins gradually release their pigments and the characteristic aromas of Grillo to the wine. Throughout the process, no corrections or additives are made, thus maintaining the product's authenticity and naturalness.

Aging of Canta del Grillo 2021

Aging takes place in steel silos for 4 months, then Canto del Grillo is bottled. The addition of sulfur dioxide is not foreseen even in this final phase.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

Abbazia San Giorgio

Abbazia San Giorgio was established in 2015 by Battista Belvisi, an agronomist and winemaker born on Pantelleria into a family with its own history of making wine. Battista spent roughly a decade working alongside Gabrio Bini as his main man, before deciding to establish a cellar under his own name. The estate began with 3.5 hectares near Khamma on the island's southeastern side and has since grown, making around 10,000 bottles a year.

The vineyards grow in dark volcanic soils under intense sun and constant wind. Zibibbo, the local name for Muscat of Alexandria, is the central grape. Many vines are old, and some remain ungrafted in the island's sandy volcanic terrain.
