About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Produced in Milo at 700 m. The vines are Guyot trained and yield 50 hl/ha.

Grapes

90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Carricante.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place without the grape skins.

Tasting profile

A slender, bright onion-skin colour that can shift from powdery pink toward an intense warm yellow. The nose offers pronounced, persistent floral aromas alongside blood orange and pink grapefruit. The palate opens decisively and elegantly, with freshness, easy flow and fruit-led complexity. Its underlying complexity is expressed with restraint and elegance.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10 °C. Suitable as an aperitif and with fried fish or seafood, tuna in olive oil, caponata and tomato-based first courses. Intended for immediate drinking.
