Vinification of the Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGT from Tenuta San Giaime

The quality of the Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGT begins already in the vineyard. The grapes come from carefully managed vineyards in prime locations on Sicily’s volcanic soils. Harvesting is done by hand to select only the best and ripest grapes. This attentiveness ensures that only the finest grapes go into vinification.

Vinification follows traditional methods. After gentle pressing, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This allows the fruit aromas to fully develop. A period of maceration ensures that the tannins are optimally extracted. The Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGT then matures for several months in French oak barrels. This gives the wine a fine texture and elegant nuances.

Maturation in wood gives the wine an additional dimension. It develops aromas of vanilla and caramel that round off the tasting experience.
