Wine from dried grapes of ancient origins.

The vineyard, in the Buonivini district, exposed to the west in spurred cordon, on white calcareous soils at 50 meters above sea level. The low yield, the light, the winds and the heat of the place, give to the Moscato Bianco grapes an original typicality, which revolves around the fragrance and finesse. The harvested and well-ripened grapes are placed on the trellises of our “baglio”, in white Modica stone, in order to ensure them the light and the warmth of August, necessary for the drying of the bunches. Vinified with the skins, the fermentation takes place in steel until its interruption, through the use of cold. It matures in steel until the spring following the harvest. Sweet, delicate, well-balanced, never cloying wine.

For our passito we wanted to stylize the image of a raisin moscato grape, with its nuances rich in lights and shadows, like those that live in all of us.
