Mandrarossa, Viognier, Sicily, 2022

The wine is yellow with golden hues. On the nose it has notes of ripe peaches and apricot. On the palate it is full and opulent, with fruity aromas, a delicate minerality and notes of bitter almond on the finish.

After being crushed and destemmed, the grapes were immediately cooled to 5-8°C, and kept at these temperatures for 4-6 hours. The must was then pressed and cold-settled for 36 hours. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 16-18°C for around 17 days. The wine was then kept in steel vats for four months.

The vineyards for this wine are located around Menfi on the south-western coast of Sicily. The vines are grown on south and south-east facing slopes at altitudes of 150-350 metres above sea level.
