100% Grillo. A méthode-champenoise or metodo classico wine from the organically farmed estate vineyard in the Samperi contrada of Marsala. The vines are over 30 years old, planted on sandy, limestone-rich loam and trained in both Guyot and alberello. The bunches are harvested by hand into small bins, gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Most of the wine is vinified and aged in stainless steel, with about 20% going into French oak for a year. The wine is blended and bottled with fresh must from the subsequent harvest. It goes through a second fermentation and spends a minimum of 18 months on the lees. The bottles are hand-disgorged and receive a small dosage.
