The selected vineyards, located between 300 and 600 meters above sea level, are trained using the Guyot system, on clayey soils with limited grape yields per hectare.

The Frappato grapes are harvested at the first ripening, so that all the typical freshness remains in the must which is left to ferment very slowly in small steel tanks.

The Nero d'Avola grapes are instead left on the vine for a light drying and natural dehydration. They are then harvested later and, with extreme care, placed in wooden boxes. After a light pressing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature.

The two musts then evolve according to their typical characteristics and when our “master” decides, they are slowly mixed, over time and in the proportions required by the individual harvest. The natural sweetness of the wine is obtained by interrupting the fermentation through the “cold” process. The wine matures for a few months in steel tanks.

From the old vineyards shaken by intense impulses that rise from the deep roots of the earth to shake the best grapes, this wine with an authentic Mediterranean fragrance comes to life, vibrant in the warm winds of the south and the cold winds of the north.
