A variety, that of Grillo, which continues to amaze for its versatility and strength, in this “Terzavia” capable of communicating a land strongly vocated to great wines.

100% Grillo
3,500 vines per hectare with roots that originated 25 years ago in the C.da Samperi area of Marsala. Guyot counter-espalier plants. 40 hl yield per hectare harvested starting in the second decade of August. The grapes are cooled and subjected to bunch selection. Direct soft pressing of the (whole) grapes follows, and after spontaneous decanting of the must, the fermentation is awaited to start in steel tanks, and then continue in 500 and 225 l French oak barrels (of 20 percent of the grapes) in an indirect temperature-controlled, air-conditioned manner. Fermentation is operated by indigenous yeasts and with minimal use of sulfites. Draught of fresh must added to wine in proportional amounts to dilute the alcohol content and contribute the amount of (natural) sugar needed for frothing. Sugar intake does not exceed 15%. Fifty percent of the base wine ages 12 months in steel, while the remaining 50 percent ages in French oak barriques and tonneaux, on its own yeasts. After draught, at least 18 months in bottle always on its own yeasts. Undosed.
