Kheirè is an ancient Greek expression which means “Welcome”, celebrating our origins and the proverbial Sicilian hospitality.
It is a tribute by Gorghi Tondi to the thousand-year-old history of Sicily and to the time when the island was an integral part of the glorious Magna Graecia.
It is the first and most important white wine of the family, made with the best selection of Grillo grapes grown at the estate and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
A structured, long-lasting white wine, aged partially in French oak new barrels.
