About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit grows in Sicily, where a Mediterranean climate brings consistent sunshine and moderate rainfall. Coastal breezes help protect the grapes from rot and mould. The island’s dark soils are rich in minerals and other natural resources.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified traditionally at a controlled temperature.

Serving and pairing

Pair with meat dishes, particularly grilled meats and barbecue, or with cheeses.
