The vineyards are between ~720-1000 metres altitude, on volcanic soils of rock, ash, sand and volcanic earth. Grapes are hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, long maceration on skins (approx. 40 days), followed by ageing (stainless steel, amphora or neutral vessels \/ barrel depending on lot) to preserve texture. The wine shows citrus peel, grapefruit, herbal nuance, saline lift, waxy detail and crystalline fruits, with taut acidity and a lingering textured finish without heaviness. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer   \u003cstrong\u003eAzienda Agricola Sciara of Stef Yim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003ePassopisciaro, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSicily, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003e60% Carricatne, 25% Catarratto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12.5% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eFull body complex orange wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e750ml \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eManual harvested,  whole bunch grapes fermented on skins for 30days  with indigenous yeast.

The fruit comes from vineyards around 730-770 metres altitude (Contrada Taccione and Sciaranuova), on volcanic soils of ash, rock and sand. Grapes were hand-harvested and whole bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing (meant to include amphora or neutral vessels) to preserve site clarity. There is fine tannic structure, red fruit and mineral lift, wild-herb detail and spice.
