“Egesta” is the old Hellenic name for Segesta, an area of western Sicily in close proximity to Aldo’s vineyards, as well as the name of a local stream and its corresponding ancient water deity. Made from pure Grillo, this wine spends eight months macerating on its skins in stainless steel without pressing and with occasional pump-overs, and it is bottled straight from tank without any added sulfur whatsoever. Compared to Krimiso, Egesta is less boisterous, more refined, and less driven by fruit. A panoramic nose of fresh almonds and subtle woodsy spice introduces a palate of remarkable balance, with deep, subdued orchard fruits anchoring the slowly undulating waves of flavor. This wine offers stunning clarity and depth, particularly given the extreme length of its maceration, and it clings to the palate with both authority and gracefulness.
