Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from the Lagnusa vineyard, farmed organically. The vineyard lies at 600 m above sea level with an eastern exposure and clay-sandy soils. The vines are 35 years old on average.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. The wine undergoes a long maceration on the skins and ferments in concrete tanks at a carefully controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation follows.
Ageing
After malolactic fermentation the wine ages for 20 months in cement tanks, then 4 months in barrels. After bottling it rests a further 4 months in the winery's cellars.
Tasting profile
Balanced aroma led by fruit and spice.
Vintage notes
The 2022 vintage is expected to remain at peak maturity through 2027.
Label / history
"Lagnusa" means "lazy, low-producing" in the Sicilian dialect, a reference to the vineyard's low yields.
