About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in hillside vineyards in the Riesi area, between Ragusa and Agrigento.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand from the second half of September to early October. They are gently pressed, then fermented with selected yeasts in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 °C, with frequent pumping over. Malolactic fermentation follows alcoholic fermentation.

Tasting profile

Rounded and well balanced.

Label / history

The wine was developed by the négociant house The Wine People in partnership with specialists from Vi. Mi. SPA.
