Vinification of La Ferla Rosato IGP from Canicattí

The grapes for La Ferla Rosato IGP - Canicattí come from selected sites in Sicily. The vineyards are located in sun-drenched areas with good ventilation and poor soils, often calcareous with sandy inclusions. These soils ensure moderate yields and concentrated, ripe grapes. The Mediterranean climate with warm days and cooler nights allows the aromas to ripen slowly and evenly.

The vines are tended with great care, with targeted canopy management and consistent yield control. This creates a stable balance between foliage and fruit. The cuvée unites several grape varieties that complement each other in aroma, structure and freshness. Each variety contributes its part: one for clear fruit, another for structure, yet another for the floral note.

Harvest takes place at the optimal point of ripeness, usually in the cool morning hours. This preserves freshness and aroma in the berries. The grapes are quickly brought to the winery to avoid oxidation. There, a careful selection takes place and only the best, ripest grapes are used for the rosé.

For vinification, the must is usually left on the skins only briefly. This gentle maceration gives La Ferla Rosato IGP - Canicattí its bright color and typical red-fruit aromas without extracting too much tannin. Gentle pressing follows in order to obtain a clear, fine juice base.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, often at cool temperatures. This preserves the delicate aromas of strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate and rose in full. Stainless steel as a maturation vessel maintains the freshness and precise fruit expression. The focus is on clarity and varietal character, not on oak notes.

After fermentation, the wine rests for some time on the fine lees. This maturation lends La Ferla Rosato IGP - Canicattí more structure, a delicate creaminess and a pleasant fullness on the palate. Regular stirring of the lees can bring additional complexity without diminishing freshness. Before bottling, the wine is gently filtered so that it reaches the bottle clear and brilliant.
