VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Nero d’Avola, cultivated on deep soils of dark clay at 300 metres above sea level, is harvested with a degree of sugar ripeness and acidity suitable for obtaining a fresh and mineral sparkling base. Soft pressing follows, which allows for the production of a white wine from black grapes, without the need for further processing. After a period of ageing on the lees of about 3-4 months, the base wine is made sparking in an autoclave (Charmat method), where it remains for another 3 months before being bottled.
