Vinification of Delicio Rosato IGT from Canicattí

The grapes for this wine come from selected sites in Sicily, in the Terre Siciliane IGT region. The warm climate here is moderated by fresh sea breezes and cool nights. This allows the berries to reach optimal ripeness without losing tension. The soils are often sandy to stony, with mineral components. This gives the wines finesse and a fine, salty vein.

In the vineyard the focus is on ripe grapes with a clear aromatic profile. Yields are deliberately reduced to achieve more concentration. Harvest usually takes place in the early morning hours. This way the grapes reach the winery cool and retain their delicate fruit. Part of the harvest is brought in by hand to use only the best grapes for Delicio Rosato IGT - Canicattí.

In the cellar the berries are gently pressed. Skin contact is kept short so that the color remains a delicate rosé and the tannins stay soft. This is how the wine gains its bright rosé hue and elegant structure. The must is clarified before fermentation starts under controlled temperature. Cool fermentation temperatures preserve the fine aromas of strawberry, raspberry and red berries.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This maximizes the preservation of the fruit character. Oak is deliberately not used, or only very sparingly, so that nothing overshadows the clear berry fruit. After fermentation, the wine rests for some time on its fine lees. This gives it its subtle creaminess and more structure on the palate. The freshness is retained, while the texture becomes rounder and more harmonious.

Before bottling, Delicio Rosato IGT - Canicattí is gently filtered. This keeps the wine clear and radiant in the glass. Thanks to this precise vinification, a rosé wine is created that shows the sunny side of Sicily without ever appearing heavy. Lightness, fruit and brightness are clearly at the forefront. The result is a rosé that cuts an excellent figure both on its own and with food.
