Created by The Wine People, a bunch of growers, oenologists, technicians and managers. A family; a group of professionals united in their love of the world of wine, for sustainability and for uncompromising quality.
Set up by two entrepreneurs, each with over 30 years experience in the world of wine decided to join forces to offer the market “Made in Italy” wines with a first-class service. Stefano Girelli and Peter Kosten worked closely together for over 10 years at Casa Girelli, developing a common vision and a strong bond.
With three winemakers: Mattia Giacomelli, Luca Tasin and Stefano Chioccioli; one of their main strengths is to respect the provenance and style wines from every region, making them the ideal winemakers for our diverse portfolio at TWP.
The Miopasso Grillo Appassimento is a fantastic white wine produced in Sicily. Grillo grapes are grown in the top white grape producing area around Marsala. The Grillo grapes are hand picked in sweeps, some when the grapes have reached the peak of maturity, then others after they have been left on the vines until they have lost the required amount of weight through drying.
Following a very gentle de-stemming, we leave the wine to decant for about 24 hours and then fermentation takes place at about 17-18C° for about 12-15 days. The wines rests on the fine lees for about 3-4 months before bottling.
On the nose the Miopasso Grillo Appassimento has notes of dried fruits and nuts, with hints of oranges and grapefruit. On the palate it is an explosion of flavours like lime, pineapple, grapefruit and almond.
