Hand-harvested from their younger vines planted at the bottom of the hill in the Contrada Valle. Vines are an average of 11 years old and are grown at 360m of altitude

 

The fruit is de-stemmed and vinified in stainless steel tanks with a maceration lasting approximately 3 weeks.

 

The wine is aged for 12 months in tank before bottling.

This is juicy and generous with notes of warm pineapple, white pear, gentle citrus and chamomile with a fresh salty finish.

The history of this small Azienda Agricola goes back three generations, when nonno Cosimo planted the first vines of Catarratto, a grape symbol of the area and the varietal who is considered to express the terroir of Alcamo at its best.

The farm covers approximately 25 hectares of vines, farmed in accordance to the principles of organics and biodynamics. Olive groves, vegetables and a variety of ancient Sicilian grains are also cultivated across the estate.

 

An excellent value, rustic Sicilian red with notes of red plums, black cherry, figs and prunes blended with savoury aromas of tobacco and cedar.
