100% Grillo
3,500 vines per hectare that originated more than 20 years ago in Contrada Samperi, Marsala. Guyot espalier plants. 60 q yield per hectare harvested from the first week of September. After manual selection of the native grapes, the clusters are destemmed and maceration follows, throughout the fermentation period, by indigenous yeasts, without pumping over or punching down, in open vats and amphorae, at uncontrolled temperatures. After racking, there follows about a year of aging in the same barrels and amphorae in the presence of their own fine lees, at room temperature. The wine is bottled unfiltered or stabilized, as it is clarified by natural sedimentation, and without any addition of sulfur.
