Aromatic, rounded white from a native Sicilian variety that's full of tropical fruit: apricots, lychees, and pineapples jostle for prominence on the tongue.

Bottle Information

Vineyard: From Planeta's vineyards in Gurra at 75m above sea level on lime and chalk soils, planted to a density of 5,000 vines per hectare. 

Vinification: After destalking and soft pressing, the must is decanted at a low temperature and ferments at 15°C. When fermentation is complete, maturing on the lees for 6 months in stainless steel vats where a bâtonneur keeps the lees in suspension.
