Tasting note
Not a common grape variety but such a lovely style of wine, you’ll wonder why it’s not better known. Bags of fresh cherry and mocha, nice and expressive, very inviting. There is a richness, freshness and brightness. This Sicilian red is very enjoyable.
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.
Food Match
Pairs beautifully with cured meat antipasti and Italian cheeses.
