Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown in the Agrigento area of southwestern Sicily, in vineyards at 200–600 m above sea level. The medium-textured sandy-silty soils are alkaline due to their limestone content. The vines average 15 years of age, and yields do not exceed 9 t/ha.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested in September and pressed as whole bunches. The must is settled at low temperature, then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled 16 °C for 15 days. Malolactic fermentation is prevented.
Ageing
The wine matures for three months in concrete tanks, followed by two months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Fresh, modern and approachable in style.
