Vinification of Firriato Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosato

The basis for the well-balanced Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosato from Sicily is grapes of the Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of sand and volcanic rock. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
