About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the estate’s vineyards in the province of Trapani, at an altitude of 150 metres. The province is on Sicily’s western coast beside the Tyrrhenian Sea. Mineral-rich clay soils and a Mediterranean climate characterize the area, with mild winters, limited rainfall, and very hot, windy summers.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of August, carefully sorted at the winery, and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests for four months in stainless steel tanks.
