classification

Sicilia DOC
The changeable and faithful Moon, loving and cold, beautiful and mysterious, wrapped in a sense of immortality, has fascinated humankind since the dawn of time. People have always tried to grasp its sensuality and to seize its secrets in order to live in harmony with Mother Nature. Through the centuries, the regularity of its waxing and waning has strongly influenced popular beliefs. The lunar phases, with the mysterious celestial waves that accompany them, govern human behaviour, the tides, the growth of plants and rainfall. They are of great importance in the practices of sowing, planting, crop care, and the harvesting and storage of produce. From this fascination and these reflections comes our Luna line: wines capable of expressing aromas rich in nuances and reaching the deep soul of those at the table, enchanting them with the magic of a dream.

Soil

Soil of medium texture, from moderately deep to deep, with an abundant skeleton of pebbles, slightly calcareous, with portions of dark, vegetal soils.
Harvested at phenolic ripeness, it is left to macerate for 12-15 days at 26 °C with daily pump-overs. After racking, ageing takes place in steel for about 4 months. Part of it ages in barriques. The process then ends with ageing in the bottle.
Bright ruby red colour, dark and intense. On the nose it has fruity notes ranging from liquorice to berries. On the palate it has good body and a round, sweet tannic quality. Good persistence leading to a fruity finish.
