This Syrah originates from different vineyard parcels, all included within the DOC Sicilia. We are in vineyards located at an altitude between 250 and 350 meters above sea level, characterized by a white calcareous soil and a microclimate that is influenced by the proximity to the sea, thus offering mild temperatures and excellent exposure to sunlight. The must obtained from the gentle pressing of the grapes ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 28 and 30 degrees, for a total of 8 days. The wine is then transferred to Slavonian oak barrels with a capacity of 60 hectoliters, where it rests for 12 months.
