Cru Kheire
Kheirè is a word of Greek origin which means "Welcome". 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. Kheirè is a white wine from Grillo grapes, an ideal witness of a past with Greek origins also for the proverbial Sicilian hospitality, being the island a crossroads of great peoples and different cultures.
