Vinification and refinement

In September, when the grapes achieve ideal ripeness. Initial cold pre-maceration lasting six days, before traditional maceration at a controlled temperature of 25° C. These techniques ensure better extraction of aromas and the soft, mouthfilling tannins. A portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in new, medium-toasted barriques. After a few months’ maturing, it is added to the rest of the mass, to then mature further in steel for one year at a controlled temperature. The result is a fragrant, fresh, fruity wine, which maintains the varietal structure and power typical of Syrah grown in the warm Sicilian climate

The full yet delicate palate offers soft, elegant tannins, resulting in what is a harmonious blend of Syrah’s trademark depth and the uniqueness of this wonderful land
