The History of Wine: Coste a Preola Grillo

“Coste a Preola” it is not simply a fanciful name, but a true declaration of love for Sicily and the invaluable biodiversity that characterises it. It all originates in a unique and evocative stretch of land, on the island's south-western coast, where the company's vineyards overlook the Mediterranean Sea, bordering the “Lago Preola e Gorghi Tondi” Nature Reserve.
Since its very first vintage, produced in 2006, the Sala family has conceived the Coasts in Preola Grillo with a very specific emotional and productive objective: to bottle the strong bond, carefully cultivated over four generations, that unites the estate with this marvellous natural oasis.
To achieve this, the choice naturally fell upon Grillo, presented in a project of strictly organic and sustainable viticulture. The grapes destined for this label come from historic vineyards over twenty years old, whose roots are sunk in calcareous and sandy soil just 25 metres above sea level. It is precisely here, caressed daily by the sea breeze laden with saltiness, that this Grillo acquires its unmistakable savoury and mineral character.
The vital importance of this label within the Gorghi Tondi portfolio has also been celebrated visually. In 2019, Coste a Preola was the proud star of the restyling that gave the “Territoriali” line its new look. This project of Design, winner also of the Coordinated Image Award at the 23rd Vinitaly International Design Packaging Competition, It was studied precisely to translate onto the label, in a contemporary key, the fluid shapes and vibrant colours of that landscape of sun, sea and unspoilt nature that the wine faithfully encloses within.
