Jeez this is really complex for under $20. Nose has curry spices, fresh-cut grass and herbs, and sea shell mineral. Palate adds lemon and enough acidity to the saline and herbal notes. Always changing in the glass, even adds some honeyed apple with more air.

This is just delicious and a perfect example of how good Grillo can be. Lighter-bodied and very fresh with crisp acidity and tangy green apple and grapefruit flavors. So easy going down yet very satisfying with a complex tingle on the finish.

This (L1021) is a delicious wine with complex aromatics, a light-medium body, a perfect 13% ABV, and a savory slightly bitter finish that is very appetizing. Can work for cocktails or with dinner. Lovely wine, very good QPR.

Other comments spot on. Delicious with grilled lemony swordfish with green olives on fresh pasta. This wine has decent body. Well balanced.
