Description Syrah vine minimum 85% Origin and history of the vine The Syrah vine originally comes from the city of Schiraz, in Persia, from which it seems to have reached our country in ancient times through the city of Syracuse. Widespread in France (Côte du Rhône) and in the new world especially in the warmer wine regions, such as Australia, South Africa and California. In recent times Syrah has spread to our country from France (around the middle of the 1800s) and has found its territory of choice in our warm regions (Sicily).
Cultivation area Municipality of Salemi at 446 m slm where for millennia the vine and the wine have been the characterizing elements of the territory. The heart of the province with the most vineyards in Italy (Trapani) offers the vine a unique territory in the world capable of transmitting inimitable characteristics and qualities to the fruit. The hilly area and the properties of the calcareous or tuffaceous soil combined with the climatic conditions create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of the vine. Sicilian wines are called sunny wines as the grapes are illuminated by the rays of a warm sun, typical of Sicily and, once vinified, they give life to full-bodied wines characterized by a distinguishable majesty. In the cellar 100% biodynamic Demeter grapes.
Vinification: Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers each year and entrusts the strength and health of the territory and the vineyard with obtaining grapes rich in yeasts which are essential for fermentation in the cellar. The spontaneous fermentation of wines is the fundamental condition for giving life to a wine capable of restoring the authentic flavors of a territory.
