Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Produced around Sambuca di Sicilia in the province of Agrigento, Sicily. The grapes are selected from north-facing vineyards whose microclimate supports aromatic concentration while retaining crisp acidity.
Grapes
Pinot Grigio.
Vinification
The grapes are crushed and destemmed, then softly pressed. Static settling clarifies the must before fermentation at 12–14°C.
Ageing
After fermentation, the wine remains on its lees for approximately 3–5 months. It is subsequently racked and sulphited.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow with golden highlights. A complex aromatic profile combines peach, grapefruit, lemon and lime with herbal tones and nuances of oak, vanilla and nutmeg. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, with a pleasant aftertaste and a long, clean finish that is spicy yet delicate.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12°C. Pair with substantial first courses, white meat and cheese; it also suits fish soup and roasted fish.
