Grecanico is a native Sicilian grape which produces a complex, aromatically defined white wine with lively citrusy fruit character on the nose and the palate, and well balanced, fresh acidity on the finish.
Vinification Note :
The grapes are picked from the bunch and delicately crushed. Afterwards, they are cooled off at a temperature of 8-10°C for 4 - 6 hours; then they are delicately strained with light presses; the juice obtained undergoes cold settling and fermentation at a temperature of 16-18°C with selected leavens. Refinement takes place in 6 months in bottles at a temperature of 18°C.
