Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage in Sicily was characterized by a balanced climate with mild springs and a breezy summer, ideal conditions for a slow and regular ripening of the grapes.

The yield per hectare was deliberately kept low to ensure very high-quality raw material and an intense aromatic profile.

Winemaking and aging
