Tasting note
Charming, elegant red from Sicily, filled with red cherry and raspberry, with a fine minerality on the finish.
Viticulture
Grapes are grown in a vineyard situated across the hills of Gibellina, which lies between 100-300m above sea level. Soils here are calcareous, containing higher than average levels of organic matter and iron, which impart complexity and unique flavours to wine.
Vinification
Fermentation is conducted for 12-15 days at 24-30°C with daily pump-overs and racking. The wine is then aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques for 2-4 months, before being bottled.
