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. The grapes were harvested at a later date to ensure excellent ripeness.
Harvest
The grapes were harvested on 28 August 2023.
Vinification and Ageing
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to obtain free-run must, which, after static settling, starts to ferment at a controlled temperature of 16-18 °C for about 15 days. After fermentation, the wine remains on its fine lees, which are due to the lysis of the fermenting yeasts, for at least four months. Bottle ageing: at least one month before being sold on the market.
