About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The north-facing vineyards are situated 300 m above sea level near Trapani. Their medium-textured mixed soils are predominantly clay.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand during the final ten days of August. Alcoholic fermentation takes place for 8–10 days at 24–28 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for one month in sessile oak barriques, followed by one month in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

Blackcurrant and black cherry flavours are accompanied by elegant acidity and soft, approachable tannins.
