About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Valle del Belice in southwestern Sicily, at elevations of 100–600 m. The soils are mainly chalky, and the vineyards are farmed sustainably.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and placed in 10–15 kg crates. Processing is carried out with complete protection from oxygen, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the must’s aroma and acidity. The must is clarified by static settling at 12 °C for 24 hours, then fermented under strict temperature control.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for four months with frequent bâtonnage, followed by three months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fresh, with preserved aroma and acidity.

Label / history

Annual production is approximately 20,000 bottles.
