About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The selected fruit comes from vineyards in Alcamo, in the heart of Western Sicily. The south-facing sites lie at 200–300 m above sea level and are planted at a density of 4,200 vines per hectare. The moderately dense soils are mainly sandy, with a small proportion of clay. The vineyards are farmed organically in accordance with BIOSUISSE guidelines and DOP classification standards.
Grapes
The wine is made from a selection of fully ripe grapes.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and gently pressed. The must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at 15–16 °C for eight days.
Ageing
The wine rests in steel tanks for six months, followed by two months in bottle before release. Its structure allows it to develop in bottle while retaining the integrity of its flavour during extended ageing.
Tasting profile
The nose has an elegant citrus character. The palate is balanced, with distinct tropical-fruit notes and depth.
Serving and pairing
Pair with fish dishes and low-fat cheeses.
