Denomination: IGT Sicilia

Grapes: 75% Nero D’Avola e 25% Syrah,
grown on the hills around Partinico between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. In this area, chosen for its particular microclimate and soil, some of the oldest vines grow, and this was the base for the production of our selection. The vines are Guyot pruned, planted with an average density, with very low yield due to old age and training technique.

Vinification and ageing: The grapes are hand-picked, Syrah at the end of August and Nero d’Avola in the fourth week of September. the wine is then racked in French oak barrels where it ages for 12 months. After bottling it ages for further 9 months before market release

The grapes are crushed and destemmed and the must is fermented at controlled temperature (25°C) in stainless steel tanks with frequent “pumping-over” and delestages for 10 days;
Il cappello in quest’arco di tempo subisce ripetuti rimontaggi e delestage.

Description: Deep blue with violet nuances. The nose reveals notes of cherry, blackberry and mulberry with remarkable complexity; on the palate is spicy, luscious, all-embracing and velvety.

How to serve: We recommend to open the bottle a couple of hours before consumption. Serve in ample stem glasses at 18°C .
