Tasting note
Floral Sicilian Merlot, a mouthful of bilberries and cherries enveloped in the perfume of toasty vanilla as well as those flowers.
Vineyard
Sito dell’Ulmo is a single-variety Merlot from a single vineyard on the banks of Lake Arancio, among the vines planted at Ulmo in 1987, the ideal place to obtain the best from this classic French variety.
Viticulture
Organically farmed; ground cover of barseem and underground clover; plant health protected with minimal quantities of sulphur and copper; phytophages deterred with useful insects and sexual confusion.
Vinification
Harvested at the end of August, the grapes were destemmed and crushed before spending 14 days macerating on the skins in stainless steel fermenters. After racking, the wine was aged for 12 months in Allier oak barrels.
Food Match
Vegetable soups, Games, roast beef and matured cheeses all partner this wine. Sicilian cookery: Roast lamb, beef and potato stew, rabbit in red wine, boiled beef, stuffed meat roll. Sicilian cheese: Maiorchino
