- Complex aromas of pineapple, wild floral notes, and spice combine with hints of liquorice, herbs, and mint to give way to a fresh, fruity palate. Dry and full flavored with mineral notes, leading to a satisfying finish. This rare white wine is made from the dark-skinned red variety Nerello Mascalese. The whole grapes were pressed and vinified reductively with low sulphur content. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks and lasted 12 to 14 days at controlled temperatures of 14 to 18°C. Following fermentation, the wine rested on its fine leaves between four to six months at low temperatures, stirring thrice weekly to impart texture and delicate complexity. The wine was made using organic methods and received three months of bottle ageing before release.

It is a mouthwatering yet creamy wine with layers of pineapple, wild floral notes, herbs, and mint. This gives way to a fresh, fruity palate with a lifted mineral finish.

| Winery | The 15-hectare vineyard is situated in the Contrada Feudo S. Anastasia at an elevation of approximately 620 metres above sea level, where warm days and cool nights encourage a long ripening period concentrating the flavours in the grapes while retaining balancing acidity. The vines are grown in volcanic soils rich in minerals and fossils. The soil is permeable to air and water and is rich in pumice stone and microelements, which allow the plants to produce a complex aromatic profile. The 14-year-old espalier-trained vines are spur cordon pruned. They are cultivated following organic and biodynamic principles, and the vineyard is converted to organic status. The organic sulphur and copper treatments are only used when powdery or downy mildew seriously affects the vineyard. The vine moth is combatted by using natural pheromones, which generates confusion in the moth and prevents it from attacking the fruit. |
