Grapes: Nero D’Avola & Nerello Mascelese, Sicillia DOC, Sicilia, Italy
Aromas of dried fruit with some teak and dried earth.
Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy finish.
Elegant and delicious.
The grapes were left in pre-fermentative maceration for
2 days and, once alcoholic fermentation
with only indigenous yeast was complete, post-fermentation maceration
was carried out for approximately 2 months including spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Once racked,
the wine remained on the fine lees with continuous
batonnage until June, after which it was put on clean
lees and bottled in September 2023. Fermentation in 25
hectolitres cement vats, final three months of ageing in 10 hectolitres stainless steel containers. At increasingly longer intervals, on the day of the descending moon of the flowers, a remuage for each individual bottle was performed.
