Syrah, bag in box

Syrah / I.G.P. Terre Siciliane / organic agriculture / ICEA certification

The wines that we provide in boxes are a result of a very precise company “policy”: The picked “in excess” which has no way of being bottled is bought by the cooperative anyway in a way to guarantee a fair price to the partners, avoiding that way to end up in markets that would debase the value. Besides the product so packed responds to a precise market request, less committing and lighter than the bottle.

Wine making
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small baskets. They are then de-stemmed and added to naturally fermented must, prepared in the previous days with the grapes of the same vineyard. Fermentation proceeds for about nine days at a temperature of 25° C, at the end of which the marc is separated from the wine and pressed. After the malolactic fermentation, which also occurs spontaneously, the wine ages for the winter and the following spring in steel before bottling.

6 months in stainless steel
