Nero d'Avola, in this part of Sicily retains a high acidity and lends itself quite weil to rose vinification. Delicate aromas emerge that are not noticed when it is vinified in red.
Reached the technological maturity, the grapes are gently harvested and de-stemmed. The must is separated immediately without any contact with the skins. Even the slightest contact would turn it red. The must is clarified by decantation. Then begins a fermentation with the inoculation of selected yeasts which lasts about 10 days at a controlled temperature of 16°C, followed by a period "sur lie" and a maturation in steel barrels for 6-8 months.
It has a residual sugar of about 2,5 grams per liter.
