About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The organically cultivated fruit comes from vineyards in Campobello di Mazara, Sicily, at 300 m above sea level.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September, destemmed and gently pressed. The must undergoes a long maceration, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless-steel vats and malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for four months, followed by at least three months of bottle maturation in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Bright ruby in colour, with an elegant and graceful character.
