Production area
After arriving centuries ago from Spain during the dominion of the Crown of Aragon, this variety found its ideal habitat in the coastal area of many Italian regions. In Sicily, the cultivation of Vermentino is gradually spreading thanks to the island’s climate and its soils that exalt the aromatic features peculiar to this variety.
Nose: initial notes of white flowers and cut grass that evolve into riper hints of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango.
Palate: a medium-bodied wine with initial amplitude and good persistence coming from the freshness that is a feature of this variety. Well balanced, long and harmonious finish.
Pairings: it is ideal with raw seafood, swordfish and tuna carpaccio, vegetable starters, fresh chesses or more simply with fish cooked with salt.

Vinification
Selective grape harvesting, crushing and simultaneous destalking, followed by soft pressing in low oxygen conditions (i.e. the so-called "reductive vinification" technique). The wine is then naturally decanted at cold temperatures and fermented at a controlled temperature of 16°C for several days. It is left to age on the lees for a few months. It is finally filtered, stabilized and bottled.
