About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Morgante’s vineyards in Sicily, on limestone and clay soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first half of September. Fermentation on the skins lasts 15 days at a controlled temperature of 25–28 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests briefly in old French oak barrels from Allier and Tronçais, followed by a further 2–4 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Rounded and well balanced.

Serving and pairing

Decant for half an hour before serving.
