Vinification

The Nero d’Avola grapes are transported in small containers so that they are not crushed by their own weight, and are very softly destemmed in order to keep the skins intact. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 22-24°C, with a pumping over of the must in order to achieve the best extraction of colour, soft tannins and aromas from the skins. The grapes for “appassimento” are dried for about 30 days on trays in a ventilated room until they lose at least 25% of their natural weight. After “appassimento” the grapes are destemmed, very gently crushed and fermented at about 24C° with frequent pumping over. The two wines are blended together the malolactic fermentation takes place.
