Branciforti Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane IGT

Terroir and wine-making

The Gelso Grande estate is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, between Mount Erice and the Egadi islands. This is where the Sicilian grapes form their character: we are in the IGT Sicilian Lands of the agro of Trapani, where the vineyards are located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level and the vines are raised against a spalliera with Guyot pruning. After being picked by hand, each year in due time, by the winemakers of the estate, they are transferred to the cellar to be processed into a Sicilian wine, strong of its typical traits. The vinification involves a first fermentation phase, ten days at 26 °C, a lactic malo fermentation and an aging of two months in American oak barrels and one month in bottle. It serves to sketch out hints that intrigue the senses with a typically Sicilian personality.
