Vinification of Cantine Settesoli Merlot Sicilia

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Merlot. Only the best and fully ripe grapes are harvested for this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Cantine Settesoli. When the perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Merlot Sicilia are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Merlot Sicilia is allowed to mature for 3 months on the fine lees to further harmonize.
