About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from organically farmed plots in Sicily’s Etna and Vittoria areas, at 200–250 metres above sea level. The soils are sandy, and the climate is hot and sunny.

Grapes

The wine is made from selected Syrah grapes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in September. They undergo 10–15 days of maceration, followed by 10–15 days of fermentation at a controlled temperature of 24–26 °C.

Ageing

The wine is initially kept in stainless-steel tanks, then aged for 5–6 months in oak barriques and for at least four months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Rich and aromatic.
