Where it comes from

The grapes for this label come from the Oasi vineyard, a parcel overlooking the Vendicari oasis, in the heart of southeastern Sicily. The coastal location and the influence of the Mediterranean Sea create favorable climatic conditions, ideal for enhancing grape freshness. This close geographical tie with southeastern Sicily shapes the character of the wine and ensures a distinct origin. The maritime environment delivers the glass a clear aromatic precision and great drinking zest.

How it is produced

Production begins with careful selection and harvest of Nero d’Avola, processed in the winery to enhance the features of this red grape variety in its specific expression. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, accompanied by a short maceration on the skins that imparts the typical pale hue. Afterwards, the wine rests for a brief period of aging in stainless steel to preserve the absolute clarity of aromas before final bottling, without any use of wood.
