Description

Product of Italy. *Vintage shown in picture might not be current. Vineyard area: The vineyards are located in Valle del Belice, a hilly land in the western part of Sicily. Vines are trained in the traditional spalliera method (guyot and cordone speronato system). Planting density is of about 3500 vines/hectare. Production average is of about 60/70 tons. Harvest: Manual harvest takes place in September, preferably during the night, to preserve the healthiness of the grapes. Only the perfect and ripe grapes are picked and then transported through small containers to avoid damages to the bunches. Vinification: The grapes are destemmed to eliminate any eventual vegetal hints, and then soft pressed. A static decantation of the must takes place at 9/10 °C to better prepare the fermentation process. Fermentation lasts about 12 days at a controlled temperature, never exceeding 18C . The first racking, which takes place after the fermentation, eliminates only the rough lees. The wine is then left on the fine lees in order to add structure and complexity. Winemaker’s notes: With a straw yellow colour and greenish reflections, this wine has a delicate aromatic character. Fresh and crispy with a good complexity and texture. Ideal for any occasion.
