The roots delve into black volcanic sands, rich in minerals and surrounded by dense woods and more recent lava flows. This unique soil gives the wine a distinct territorial identity. The vineyard management follows the principles of organic farming, using wild flora to nourish the land. The optimal exposure and constant respect for the ecosystem allow the harvest of grapes that faithfully reflect the volcanic territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with manual harvesting and refrigeration of the grapes. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in wooden barrels and steel tanks, with gentle pumping over and manual punching down. Maceration on the skins encourages precise extraction of aromatic components. This is followed by racking with a vertical press and ageing in wooden barrels and steel, which smooths the tannic structure. This maturation ensures perfect structural balance, preserving the natural vibrancy of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the heart of Castiglione di Sicilia, this wine expresses the volcanic essence of the region thanks to roots that delve into the \u003cstrong\u003eblack volcanic sands\u003c\/strong\u003e at an altitude of 610 metres.
