Syrah Li Ciuri is a wine that originates in Western Sicily, in the immediate vicinity of Trapani. Obtained from 100% Syrah grapes, the bunches are harvested strictly by hand in the third week of August.

A hidden ambition but not that much. Said in French, written in the Italian manner, to tell the story of the ridge on which the castle of Caprafico stood, in Casoli, on the eastern side of the Maiella. From the old stock of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ungrafted, pure, adapted to the climate and soil of that primordial landscape, a rarity is born, today a clone selected from the Caprafico countryside, at the foot of the castle, "lu sciatò".
In the southernmost part of the Trentino Adige valley, where the Little Dolomites and the Baldo chain accompany Lake Garda in its expansion towards the Venetian plain, the vineyards of the Ala cellar are located; a land rich in memories, which was the scene of disputes between the Austrian empire and the most serene republic of Venice. It was thanks to these relationships and the consequent commercial exchanges of the people who populated it that Marzemino arrived in this land from the distant and suggestive Asia Minor.
Teroldego is a vine with a fascinating history that has its cradle in the Trentino region and in particular in the Piana Rotaliana.

Planus è la loro interpretazione enoica della Piana Rotaliana, attraverso l’assemblaggio di tre varietà storicamente coltivate dalla famiglia : 40% Rebo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon e 20% Teroldego. Rebo e Cabernet Sauvignon vengono coltivati sulle colline pedemontane del Monte di Mezzocorona, su terreni ghiaioso-calcarei. Il Teroldego, invece, viene coltivato sui terreni alluvionali ben drenanti tipici della Piana Rotaliana. La vinificazione in rosso con lunga permanenza sulle vinacce, la maturazione 12 mesi in piccole botti di rovere e in grandi fusti di rovere con successivo passaggio in acciaio. Di colore rosso rubino carico con riflessi violacei. Il profumo: esplodono inizialmente sentori speziati riconducibili al pepe ed a spezie orientali, provenienti da Cabernet Sauvignon e Rebo, lasciando poi il posto alla frutta rossa, in primis ribes nero, merito del Teroldego. Il Sapore: grazie alla presenza del Rebo l’entrata in bocca è molto gentile, nella parte centrale del palato denota grande pienezza e struttura, proveniente dal tannino del Cabernet Sauvignon; infine chiude con grande freschezza e succosità, data dalla percentuale del più fresco Teroldego.

THE PRODUCTION OF RED WINE
Red wine is obtained from red grapes, thanks to a production process called "red vinification". This process involves contact between the pomace (peels and seed residues) and must during the fermentation phase
One of the first steps in producing a red wine is choosing the harvest period. The grapes are harvested when the sugar content reached is what the winemaker deems necessary to produce the desired alcohol content.
After harvesting, the bunches arrive in the cellar where the stalks are removed (destemming) before the grapes are pressed to obtain the must.
Maceration releases polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, from the skins, which give the must its red color. Tannins are produced from the grape seeds. Maceration lasts approximately 10-15 days.
Meanwhile, alcoholic fermentation begins, triggered by yeasts present in the skins or by added yeasts. This natural process is favored by an increase in temperature, which, however, must be maintained between 25 and 30°C so as not to affect the quality of the wine.
During this process, the pomace may form a surface layer that prevents contact with the liquid, potentially leading to the development of acetic acid. However, several techniques are available to winemakers to address this problem.
After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurs, which involves the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid. This is a crucial step in the vinification of red wines because it enhances their smoothness and smoothes out any rough edges and harshness.
The must has now transformed into wine, but it must be racked, that is, the removal of residues, which can be accomplished through filtration or static decantation. This latter, less invasive method involves lowering the temperature in the tanks so that the substances to be eliminated settle to the bottom.
Once “cleaned”, the wine is ready for refinement,whose minimum duration is established by the DOC specifications, This can take place in steel tanks, concrete vats, large barrels, or small barrels or barriques. Once the maturation process is complete, bottling takes place: the wine begins its maturation in the bottle and, after a possible further aging period in the cellar, is released for sale.
