Sangiovese

Sicilia IGT

This varietal is a symbol of the enologic history of Italy. Sicily offers the Sangiovese a perfect environment to express its full potential.

• PRODUCTION AREA

  The Sangiovese grapes are mainly cultivated in the region of Siracusa where the climate is milder and the terrain is more loose and sandy, which is a more favorable environment to the Sangiovese. This brings out the grape’s elegant, medium bodied quality with very prominent fruity notes.

• VINIFICATION

  The Sangiovese grapes are mainly cultivated in the region of Siracusa and are harvested in the middle of September. They are matured at a controlled temperature of 77 degrees F for 10-12 days. For the successive malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in steel tanks for a few months.The Sangiovese that are cultivated in the Agrigento region are harvested around the end of September and matured at the controlled temperature of 80 degrees F for 13-15 days. In the malolactic fermentation, the wine matures partly in steel and partly in French barriques for 8-10 months. At the end of the maturation period, the two wines are combined to create a Sangiovese that is of modern, warm, and radiant syle.
