La Musa Grillo IGT Terre Siciliane 2021

The La Musa Grillo IGT Terre Siciliane is carefully crafted in Central Italy and is regarded as one of the best value, tasty Italian whites. A light straw yellow in colour, the La Musa Grillo offers a ripe citrus fruit nose with a fresh citrus pallet, almond finish and a sweet 'tropicality' that lingers in the background. The wine has a great length and a finish that will quickly turn into a further freshly poured glass.

Casa Vinacola Caldirola began life in 1897 as a simple osteria serving wines to locals and workers.  Caldirola’ headquarters and centre of commercial activity remains on the very same site in the small hamlet of Contra in the Comune of Missaglia, north of Milan. Ferdinando Caldirola and his son Gaetano bought the osteria in the 1940s and transformed it into an important centre for bottling and selling wine and other local products like cured meats. As the company developed its wine trade by buying and bottling wines from all corners of Italy throughout the second half of the 20th century, they were instrumental in developing coloured bottles to distinguish wines from different regions and styles. 

3 family generations later, Caldirola has established itself as one of the largest Italian wine merchants in Italy, with an export market reaching across the globe.
Caldirola’s expertise reaches into sourcing wines and partnering with growers and co-operatives from regions all over Italy, from Piedmont to Tuscany, from Sicily to Abruzzo. They developed one of the most recognisable Italian retail brands in “La Cacciatora”, trusted for quality wines with reasonable prices, considerable choice and synonymous for various bottle shapes, sizes and recyclable bottles.
