Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The Nerello Mascalese grapes are grown in the Sambuca di Sicilia area.
Grapes
Depending on the vintage, the blend may include a small amount of Nero d'Avola.
Vinification
After harvest the grapes are pressed gently to avoid extracting green tannins. Maceration takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for around 10–12 days, with regular pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation is completed before the wine goes to barrel.
Ageing
The wine ages for several months in French and American oak barrels after malolactic fermentation.
Serving and pairing
Decanting for an hour before serving is recommended.
