Description
The winemaking at Vino Florio speaks of powerful extraction forces, of the use of the traditional wine press to create musts loaded with colour, high dry extracts and intense savoury marine notes. Appropriating the spirit of the grape is paramount, followed by giving a voice to fermentation in concrete, punctuated by irregular oxygenations cadenced by the attentiveness of the winemaker. The upshot is a rich, savoury wine with high alcohol content and the intense aroma of flower-filled fields and the sea.
