Vintage Details

The 2021 vintage in Sicily was characterized by a balanced climatic trend, with warm but not extreme summers and adequate ventilation that preserved the natural acidity of the grapes. The temperature excursions between day and night favored aromatic concentration, resulting in fragrant and very refined wines.

Vinification and aging

The grapes, harvested at dawn to maintain their freshness, undergo a static decantation of the must, a process that separates solid parts from the juice, thus obtaining a cleaner and more delicate profile. Alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel – to preserve vibrancy and fruity aromas – and partly in barrique, where the wine acquires softness and a slight spicy complexity. Each bottle is numbered, adding a touch of exclusivity to a product that is produced in limited quantities.
