General information
Perricone is a rather rare autochthonous variety, widespread in western Sicily. Difficult, surly but (also for this) complex and fascinating. Cultivated in dry conditions, with low yields per hectare, it gives life to great red wines with excellent longevity.
Harvest period: first ten days of October.
Vinification system: soft pressing followed by maceration on the skins for 15 days with inoculation of selected indigenous Sicilian yeasts. Vinification and aging take place in stainless steel silos at a controlled temperature for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation follows
