- Origin
- Terre Siciliane IGT, Vittoria, Sizilien (Contrada Bombolieri, Fossa di Lupo), Italy
The grapes come from the Contrade Bombolieri and Fossa di Lupo near Vittoria, from calcareous, partly sandy soils and unirrigated, deep-rooted vines. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts; one technical source states around 30 days of skin contact. Depending on the vintage, the wine ages for around 16 to 24 months in large Slovenian or Slavonian wooden barrels, followed by bottle ageing. It shows dark berries, plum, black cherry, herbs and mineral-earthy tones, lively acidity and firm, chalky tannins with medium to full body. It is bottled unfiltered.
