About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie at the foot of the Etna volcano in Sicily. The grapes are from rare varieties and give the wine freshness, layered flavours and minerality.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested in mid-October. Fermentation is spontaneous, at 25–28 °C, followed by a short maceration of 8 days. Malolactic fermentation follows.
Ageing
After malolactic fermentation the wine is aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration.
Tasting profile
Inviting aroma. Fresh fruit is balanced by refined minerality. The finish is lightly tannic.
Serving and pairing
Suited to a relaxed lunch or dinner with friends, and to barbecue or shashlik.
Vintage notes
The 2018 vintage was released in a limited run of 3,000 bottles.
