About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The organically farmed, south-facing vineyards lie in Menfi at 100–300 m above sea level, on clay soils.

Grapes

Zibibbo is also known as Muscat of Alexandria.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second week of September. They undergo cryomaceration for 4–6 hours at 5–8 °C, followed by fermentation of the must for about 15–20 days at 16–18 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures on its lees for four months in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Highly aromatic, with a notably fresh palate.
