Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the "Fornelli" vineyard in the commune of Cammarata, Sicily. The vines are 30 years old and grow in sandy clay soils.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. Fermentation takes place in a concrete vessel, with the wine kept in contact with the skins for a quarter of the fermentation period.
Ageing
The wine is aged on the lees in cement vats for six months.
Label / history
The name "Fornelli" comes from the ancient kilns once used to fire the clay found in the soil, making wine amphorae, oil jugs, vases, decorative plates, building bricks and other items.
