The Giato Bianco is a blend of 60% Grillo and 40% Catarratto from the Giabbascio Pietralunga and Verzanica vineyards, planted on the Belice Corleonese plateau. These two grape varieties are widely grown in western Sicily and mostly used to make Marsala. They make very good white wine too; this shows none of the vague soft character of bad commercial examples but is brisk, flavorful (hints of herbs, apple, and mandarin orange), and delicious. Shockingly good for the money.
