Production

Maceration and fermentation lasted 15–20 days in stainless steel tanks. Ageing took place partly in 225 L barriques for four months and partly in steel, striking a balance between vibrancy and gentle oak complexity.

Vineyard

A blend of Frappato and Nerello Mascalese grown on hilly sites around Marsala. Soils are calcareous with sandy veins, giving both freshness and aromatic lift. The Mediterranean climate, moderated by sea breezes, provides long, even ripening. Careful canopy management ensures fruit quality and disease resistance.

Pairing

Great with roasted vegetables, tuna steak, or charcuterie. It also pairs beautifully with pizza topped with Sicilian sausage.
