Central Southern Sicily, Italy.

100% Frappato grapes from 20 (average) year old vines.

Strictly manual harvest with selection of the best grapes.

The harvest takes place from the first to the fourth week of September. Removal of the stems and a light pressing of the grapes. Cryomaceration is used to promote aromatic and colour extraction, followed by long fermentation at a controlled temperature. The lightly pressed grapes arrive inside the fermenter where the temperature is managed to start the alcoholic fermentation and the maceration of the skins. The fermentation is followed by a further maceration of the skins in the wine for at least 5 days. The wine obtained then awaits the natural malolactic fermentation and rests with its own yeasts in tanks, until bottling.

After bottling, it spends a month in the cellar before being released.
