Details
Vintage
The autumn of 2022 was not very rainy in Sicily, with a cool spring and a heavy and continuous rainfall that lasted until June of 2023. Mild, spring-like temperatures from early June to early July 2023. In Sicily, summer actually began at the beginning of July, with temperatures rising steadily until the time of the harvest.
Harvest
The harvest lasted from mid-August to the end of September.
Vinification and Ageing
As soon as the grapes arrive at the winery, the bunches are destemmed and lightly crushed in soft presses to extract the free-run must. The must is vinified in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. Once fermented, the wine remains on the fine lees for at least three months to give it a rich texture and longevity. The wine, then, ages in bottle for at least one month before being sold on the market. Bottle ageing: at least one month before being sold on the market.
