In Sicilian dialect, "Burdese" means "Bordeaux," indicating that this wine uses classic Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This wine is characterized by its dense and firm structure and excellent balance.

Appellation: Menfi DOC

Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Cabernet Franc 30%

Tasting Notes: Deep ruby color. Rich aromas of black cherry and cassis, with nuances of spice, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Firm tannins and rich fruit flavors are harmoniously balanced, enhanced by a pleasant acidity. Vanilla and licorice linger on the finish, resulting in an elegant and powerful vintage.

Production Method: After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic
fermentation. During the fermentation process, pumping over (circulation) is performed twice a day for 10-15 minutes to minimize skin contact while ensuring sufficient extraction. Fermentation takes about 6-8 days. The temperature is gradually increased from 15-16℃ initially, to 20-22℃ temporarily, and then to 26-27℃ towards the end, with cooling stopped in the final stage to complete fermentation. After 12-15 days of maceration with skin contact, the wine is racked. During this maceration period, thetemperature is maintained at about 20-22℃, and micro-oxygenation is performed to dissolve a small amount of oxygen. Malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine is transferred to French oak barrels with lees for 16 months of aging.

Pairing: Game and braised red meat dishes. Also pairs well with a wide range of foods, including aged cheeses.
