Vineyard: High density vineyards located in the provinces of Agrigento and Caltanissetta in southern and central Sicily. Vines are trained on “alberello” (bush vines). The soil is a mixture of limestone and clay The climate is dry and windy with average Spring temperatures of 15-20°C and Summer temperatures of 20-32° C during the day. The coolness of the nights and the constant aeration by the wind is optimal for bouquet and color. The relatively infertile terrain encourages the concentrated structure.
Appassimento: At the beginning of October when the grapes are perfectly ripe, the shoots of the grapes is cut and the bunch is left to raisin on the vine for about two weeks or until they have lost 50% of their weight.
Color: Dense ruby red with violet reflections.
Bouquet: Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Taste: Harmonious, juicy and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background.
Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
