About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on the southeastern side of Etna, in entirely volcanic soils.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in the first half of October. The grapes undergo maceration and fermentation for approximately 10–12 days at 25–27 °C. The wine is then separated from the skins without pressing.

Ageing

The wine matures for 10–12 months in 50 hl French oak barrels. The 2021 vintage is expected to reach peak maturity from 2024 to 2029.

Tasting profile

Elegant.
