Sicily's beloved Nero'Avola is famed for its deep, rich wines and is considered by some to be the island's most important red variety. Here in these sun-drenched vineyards, the highest standards are attained through innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils, and vine age. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are hand-harvested at the optimum maturity levels, according to the terroir and microclimate of the vineyard. They are then harvested into 20-kilogram containers to prevent the grapes from being prematurely crushed. The vineyards have distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sea level up to 700 meters above sea level, imparting subtle complexity to the wine.
