Production area
South-central Sicily
Grape variety
Native Sicilian varieties and international varieties
Harvest
From the third week of August until the fourth week of September
Vinification
The vinification process respects the aroma potential that the grapes have developed on the vine after a year’s work. For this reason, each variety is treated with the appropriate temperature for fermentation, maceration on the skins, pumping over and délestage. After vinification, the wine rests in concrete tanks, awaiting malolactic fermentation and enriching itself through the lysis of the fermenting yeasts
Ageing
Corvo Rosso, a sophisticated blend, is the result of a combination of wines aged for at least 10 months in oak barrels, reds softened in concrete vats, and intense reds that retain their tannins in steel containers
