I.G.T Sicilia "Occidens"
Grapes: Grecanico, Catarratto, Grillo, Zibibbo
Vinification: The grapes all undergo separate vinification following the same methods using cooling and a rigorous selection of grapes. Then we use a different method in that some of the grapes are vinified like a red leaving the skins throughout the fermentation period in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Another part of the grapes are directly pressed and after settling overnight we take the must off the deposit and start the fermentation in stainless and then finish the fermentation in 225L barrels (barriques) with no temeprature control. The fermentation is the work solely of inidgenous yeast and a minimal use of sulfur.
Aging: stainless for 9 months, then in Barriques for 9 months with some bâtonnage.
