Here there is a sandy clay loam and the training system used for Nero d'Avola grape is espalier. After an accurate selection of the bunches, there are winemaking and fermentation phases; after, the wine is ready for ripening in stainless and barriques. The refinement is in horizontally bottles for 6 months with a controlled temperature.

To the palete this wine is soft and flavourful, elegant and strong, with an accentuated savour and an intense final freshness of mint balsamic notes.
