Classification: Sicilia DOC

Grape Varieties: Grecanico 40%, Grillo 20%, Chardonnay 20%, other aromatic varieties 20%

Tasting Notes: A pale yellow appearance with a sea-green hue, reminiscent of the beautiful Sicilian sea. Aromatic notes of white peach, fresh apricot, Sicilian citrus, white melon, tropical fruits, chestnut honey, and freshly cut hay. It presents a consistently fresh presence and a well-balanced profile. The wine offers a strong fruit presence and salinity, followed by a pleasant, fresh sensation.

Production Method: After harvest, the grapes are cooled to approximately 16-17°C. Upon arrival at the winery, they are destemmed and pressed, followed by a soft press. The resulting must is left to decant for 36 hours at approximately 8-9°C, after which the clear portion is decanted and fermented at about 15-16°C for 10-12 days. Once fermentation is complete, it is transferred to 210/264/600 hl stainless steel tanks. Approximately 7 days later, the wine is decanted to clarify, and weekly bâtonnage is performed with the finest lees to refine its aroma and richness. Finally, each variety is blended and bottled.

Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif after work, with vegetable dishes, salads, fish appetizers, seafood carpaccio, and various light meals.
