| Origin | La Baronia - Milazzo (ME) |
| Climate | Altitude: 30 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition | Capo Milazzo arose as an extension of the mountains in the north of Sicily, from the outcropping of the sea and subsequent transformations. It appears as a flat promontory bordered by steep escarpments that descend almost 60 metres to the sea. The soils of alluvial origin are loose, dark, deep and with little skeleton, generally rich in the silty fraction. |
| Cultivation system | Nero D'Avola: spurred cordon; Nocera: spurred cordon, supported bush. |
| Plants per hectare | 5000 |
| Yield per hectare | Nero d'Avola: 60 quintals; Nocera: 65 quintals. |
| Harvest | 18 September. |
| Wine making | The grapes are hand-picked into 14 kg crates and, as soon as they reach the winery, they are passed to the sorting table for selection, then crushed and destemmed. They ferment in steel vats and remain on the skins for 14 days at 25 °C with repeated pumping over until the end of the period. This is followed by racking in a soft press, and the resulting wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel. |
| Aging | 12 months of ageing in 35 hl barrels. |
