Additional information
| Qualification: | Controlled Designation of Origin - Sicily, obtained from grapes grown with the "biodynamic method of agriculture" in accordance with Demeter production standards; |
|---|---|
| Production area: | Hilly hinterland of the Province of Trapani. The territory in question has an altitude ranging from 350 and 450 m a.s.l., a hilly position, which, together with the favorable exposure of the vineyards, contributes to creating an environment that is adequately ventilated, bright and with a soil naturally draining from waste water, particularly suited to the cultivation of the vine. The silico-calcareous nature, the texture and the chemical-physical structure of the soils interact in a decisive way with the cultivation of the vine, contributing to obtaining the particular physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of the wine in question. Even the typically Mediterranean climate of the production area with rainfall concentrated in the autumn-winter period and drought for the remaining months of the year are all characteristics that lend themselves to quality viticulture;s |
| Grapes used: | 100% Grillo. Grillo is a white grape variety from must present mainly in western Sicily and in particular in the Marsala area; |
