» Terroir

Organic wines come from organically grown vines (reg. CEE 2092/91). The non-use of synthetic fertilizers and chemical treatments offers wines that are truly authentic, just like the vineyards from which they come. The secret lies in keeping the natural balance between the vineyards and the flora and fauna surrounding them.

The vineyards behind our pinot grigio are located in the Belice Valley west of Sicily between Palermo, Trapani, and Agrigento. They are cultivated according to strict specifications that guarantee superior quality. The vines grow in relatively deep alluvial soils of medium texture with a mix of limestone and sand. These are dark soils with a good content of organic matter. .

The blocks were carefully selected in order to produce an aromatic, sun-drenched wine.

» Grape harvest

Grapes were harvested between August 1 and 15, 2021, and were quickly transferred to the Santa Ninfa cellar in the heart of the Belice Valley.

» Winemaking

Nicola Gufo was responsible for the winemaking process.

The first juice, delicately collected using a pneumatic press, was treated oxidatively to achieve colour stability.

Fermentation was done in a stainless steel tank at a temperature of 14 °C for 12 days, using Lalvin EC-1118 yeast. The wine was then cold stabilized (-3 °C) for 12 days, and preserved on lees in a stainless steel tank.

» Tasting Notes
