About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Syrah grows in the hills of Trapani on soils rich in limestone and clay. The vines are cultivated exclusively using biodynamic methods.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and partially destemmed. Spontaneous fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine rests for 10 months, followed by three months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Mineral and fresh, with a soft, rich and expressive palate.
