Colpasso Fiano Terre Siciliane IGP 2022

Fresh and floral, with a crisp acidity with touches of honey and a little complex nuttiness. This wine offers lovely minerality and is beautifully balanced. Perfect chilled as an aperitif and wonderful with seafood.

Belice Agrigento – mid-way across Sicily on the southern coast.

The grapes are picked by hand in mid September and are carefully selected.

The grapes are destemmed, soft pressed using a pneumatic press, then left in contact with the skins for about 12 hours at 10° C for optimum extraction of the aromas. Fermentation takes place at about 14-16°C. We do not do malolactic fermentation in order to retain all the natural acidity of the wine. We then leave the wine on its fine lees at a constant temperature of 16°C until the end of January. Prior to bottling at the end of February/beginning of March, we do a very gentle filtration.

3-4 months fine lees

Colpasso Fiano is perfect chilled as an aperitif and wonderful with a plate of seafood.
