About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The organically farmed fruit comes from Feudo di Mezzo (FM), specifically the lower part of the estate’s extensive vineyards. The soils are relatively deep and well aerated, and the vines are more than 40 years old.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in epoxy-lined tanks, with the skins and native yeasts, for 60 days. No sulfites are added during winemaking, or they are used only in minimal amounts.

Ageing

The wine remains in epoxy-lined tanks for several months after fermentation.

Tasting profile

A traditional Sicilian expression marked by elegance and roundness.

Serving and pairing

Allow the wine to breathe for 1–2 hours before serving.
