Its aromatic profile releases enveloping scents of \u003cstrong\u003edried white fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, such as pineapple, peach and apricot, intertwined with clear notes of vanilla, honey and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full, rounded and structured, with a pleasant softness balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003edelicately bitter finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. This sensory profile makes it the ideal pairing for blue cheeses, creamy desserts and fine patisserie creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes place in Marsala, in \u003cstrong\u003ewestern Sicily\u003c\/strong\u003e, in vineyards located about two hundred metres above sea level. The El Aziz project was born following a particularly hot season, which triggered a peculiar early ripening. The name, of Arabic origin, means \"The Magnificent\", recalling the historical layering of the area. The Grillo vines are grown on trellises with \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot pruning\u003c\/strong\u003e and a density of five thousand five hundred vines per hectare. Such agronomic rigour ensures a \u003cstrong\u003estrictly limited yield\u003c\/strong\u003e, promoting the highest quality expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production cycle is based on a \u003cstrong\u003emanual late harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, usually carried out between the end of September and the beginning of October. The harvest is preceded by a measured \u003cstrong\u003eon-the-vine drying\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to naturally concentrate the fruit's richness. The subsequent vinification and fermentation stages take place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the grape variety's aromatic precision to the fullest. The process is completed with maturation in the same material and a final \u003cstrong\u003esix-month rest\u003c\/strong\u003e, which helps to stabilise the structural balance before release to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn almost by chance during the scorching summer of 2003, \u003cstrong\u003eEl Aziz\u003c\/strong\u003e takes its name from the Arabic term “The Magnificent”, paying homage to the rich history of western Sicily. This exceptional \u003cstrong\u003enatural sweet wine\u003c\/strong\u003e comes to life on the beautiful hills of Marsala, where Grillo grapes are left to wither on the vine before the manual \u003cstrong\u003elate harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to the skill and dedication of winemakers Bruno and Sergio Fina, these fruits are transformed into a nectar of the highest quality, rated 91\/100 by Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cantine Fina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311051329707,"sku":"60761","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/fina-el-aziz-grillo-0-5l-2023_60761_1_cedeb73e-9377-43bb-91a1-cbb7b2b88676.webp?v=1773815159","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/fina-el-aziz-grillo-0-5l-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
