About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on hillside terraces at Menfi, in Sicily. The soils are mainly sandy, with pockets of clay and limestone.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand from late August to early September. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Warm, elegant and aromatic. Light, with a sense of movement and a Mediterranean character. Friendly and easy-going.

Serving and pairing

Suited to grilled meat, barbecue and simple food, and to outdoor summer meals.

Label / history

"Rondone" means "swallow" in Italian. The bird reflects the wine's lightness, sense of movement and Mediterranean character.
