The name Diantha comes from the Greek and means "flower of Zeus".
A wonderfully light summer cuvée made from Grecanico and Malvasia Bianca. The wine is a light straw yellow colour in the glass. The bouquet is elegant and fruity, reminiscent of citrus fruit, peach and wisteria. With a very light perlage, the wine tastes extremely fresh and sparkling, rounded off by the pleasantly light residual sweetness of the Malvasia grape. Can alsobe drunk as an aperitif wine instead of a spumante. Thanks to its relatively moderate alcohol content, this wine can also be enjoyed without remorse. In short, the perfect companion for a warm summer evening on the terrace.About the wineryIt is safe to say that Carlo Pellegrino is something of a Sicilian institution. Founded in 1880 in the historic heart of Marsala, the world fame of the liqueur wine of the same name is closely and significantly linked to the history of the Pellegrinos. Year after year, the great Marsalas of the house receive top honours in the Gambero Rosso and are undoubtedly among the best in the world. The fact that Pellegrino does not only specialise in Marsala, however, has also been demonstrated by its outstanding wines for many years. Tripudium, for example, is undisputedly one of the best red wines in Sicily.

The grapes are harvested before they are fully ripe so that the sugar content remains low, the acidity high and the bouquet fruity. Traditional vinification is carried out with gentle pressing and partial cold maceration. The must obtained is stored at 0° C and used for the various sparkling wine preparations throughout the year. Fermentation takes place at around 10/12°C with selected yeasts, resulting in a very aromatic and intense bouquet. During fermentation, the must is poured directly into the pressurised tank to produce the sparkling wine in a single fermentation process at a low temperature in 35-40 days; this makes the special aromatic components that characterise this sparkling wine stronger and more pronounced.Furthermore, fermentation at low temperatures encourages the formation of substances that give the wine structure and body to compensate for the low alcohol content and achieve a perfectly harmonious flavour. At the end of the sparkling process, the sparkling wine remains on its fine lees for 30-40 days to fully develop its organoleptic properties. Before bottling, a small amount of must from noble aromatic grapes is added to the sparkling wine to harmoniously complete the variety of flavours and aromas of the product. Awards:

The native grape variety Grillo thrives in the warm, Mediterranean influenced landscape of western Sicily and shapes a clear and distinctive style within the Sicilia DOC appellation. Careful harvesting and temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel preserve the freshness of the variety, followed by several months of ageing on the fine lees. Gazzerotta Senaría Grillo Superiore DOC originates from the Tenuta Gazzerotta estate near Mazara del Vallo and is produced by the historic winery Cantine Pellegrino, which has been among the defining producers of the region since the 19th century.
The structure is precise and fresh with balanced tension. Citrus, green apple and yellow stone fruit shape the aromatic profile, accompanied by floral nuances and a subtle nutty note. A delicate saline freshness adds length and reflects the maritime character of the vineyards. It pairs naturally with fish dishes, seafood or Mediterranean vegetable cuisine.
