About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown in Sicily.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at night in late September. At the winery, they are destemmed and undergo a three-day cold maceration before gentle pressing. Fermentation on the skins lasts seven days in stainless-steel tanks at 22–24 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

A portion of the wine ages for six to seven months in French oak barrels.

Serving and pairing

Pair with meat dishes, risotto, aged cheeses or pasta.
