Cataratto grapes spend a few weeks macerating with the skins during the wild yeast fermentation. The wine is bottled with low sulphur and no filtration.
The dynamic Vesco family took over the winery 10 years ago and have since revolutionised the viticultural practices and invested heavily in cutting edge technology for the winery and bottling line.
Their hundred hectares of organic vineyards are located high up in the hills above Alcamo. The wines are all certified organic and planted on south-east facing slopes on sandy soils 150 – 300m above sea level.
