About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Sicily’s warm climate.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of September at optimal ripeness. They undergo 10–15 days of skin maceration and fermentation with natural yeasts, followed by pressing in a hydraulic press.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for eight months.

Tasting profile

It has a refined flavour and bouquet that become more elegant with time.
