-
Terroir
This wine is produced in the island of Pantelleria (South-Western Sicily). Manual harvesting of grapes into crates with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard.
-
Vinification and maturation
Once the grapes reach the winery, they undergo further selection on a vibrating table before soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures; the dried grapes – added to the fresh must in several batches – are de-stemmed and selected by hand. During maceration, the dried grapes release their extraordinary legacy of sweetness, freshness and a very personal aroma. Aging takes place in stainless steel for 7 months and at least 12 months in bottle before being released to the market.
