About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Sicily at an altitude of 400 m on limestone soils.

Vinification

Harvest usually takes place in September, when the grapes reach optimal ripeness. At the winery, they are sorted and destemmed. The must ferments on the skins at a controlled temperature for 8–10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages for two months in oak barriques and stainless-steel tanks.
