VARIETY
100% Sciaccarello
TERROIR
Granite arena slopes.
WINEMAKING
Reception of the grapes by belt conquest, then sorting on the table. Fermentation in concrete vats around 28°C. Maceration for 15 days.
BREEDING
18 months, including 12 in new barrels and 1, 2 and 3 years old.
TASTING
Beautiful ruby-tinted color, sparkling, with slightly ocher reflections. The intense and fine nose gains in complexity and precision with oxygenation. It has fruity (ripe red fruits, dried myrtle berries), spicy and delicately woody (pepper, cinnamon, vanilla) aromas. In the mouth, the attachment is clear, voluminous. The tannins are young but already supple. The 2019 vintage is distinguished by its remarkable balance, with a beautiful freshness on the finish and a lovely mineral expression. Combining deliciousness, finesse and elegance, this wine will hold its own.
