100% Nero D'Avola grapes from 20 (average) year old vines.
Strictly manual harvest with selection of the best grapes from the first to the fourth week of September.
After the removal of the stems and a light pressing of the grapes, the grapes arrive inside the fermentation tank 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 resulting wine then awaits the natural malolactic fermentation and rests with its own yeasts in steel tanks, until bottling.
After bottling, it rests a month in the cellar for ageing before being released.
