About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Selected Nero d’Avola comes from Feudi del Pisciotto vineyards in Niscemi, in the province of Caltanissetta, at 100 m above sea level. The loose soils carry spurred-cordon vines planted at 6,000 plants per hectare. Yield is 60 quintals per hectare, and harvest falls in the last week of September.
Grapes
100% Nero d’Avola.
Vinification
The base wine is made in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Its sparkle is produced by the Charmat method. Malolactic fermentation is described differently in the available technical information: partially completed on the wine page and completed in the technical sheet.
Ageing
Maturation takes place in stainless steel, followed by three months in bottle.
