Our vineyards located in the southeast of Sicily enjoy a warm climate with significant thermal variations and benefit from light sandy soils, which produce elegant, fine and crisply fragrant wines. Nero d'Avola grown in our northern-westerly vineyards benefit from warm but temperate climate and fertile clay soils that produce full bodied and rich wines.

Vinification
The grapes are harvested at the end of September, when they reach perfect aromatic and polyphenolic ripeness. They undergo alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts for several days with periodic “rimontaggi” (the must is pumped over the dregs). 30% of our Nero d'Avola ages in steel to preserve the complex character of ripe red fruit, while the remaining 70% ages for a few months in French oak barrels to soften the tannins and to add structure to this elegant wine. At the end of the aging process, the wines are mixed, and they age together first in steel and then in the bottle.
