About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Settesoli’s own vineyards in Sicily’s Belice Valley, where the soils are dark, mineral-rich clay. The grapes partially dry on the vine under the hot Mediterranean sun, concentrating the resulting wine.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed, crushed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine remains in stainless-steel tanks for around eight months.

Tasting profile

Noticeably concentrated.

Serving and pairing

Pairs particularly well with red-meat dishes and aged cheeses.
