Purato Rose Terre Siciliane (75cl)

Purato Rose Terre Siciliane (75cl)

Vineyard area: The Nero d’Avola grapes are grown in organic vineyards in the Trapani area, which is north of Marsala, to the extreme west of the island - Trapani is an area perfect for organic production. We train the vines using the traditional Spalliera system. 
We pick the grapes for Purato Rosé in advance of the main Nero d’Avola harvest – about 7-10 days earlier in order to obtain a higher level of acidity.

Vinification: The grapes are very gently pressed after de-stemming. 
We allow only minimum skin contact, taking the cap of skins away a short while after the grapes are put in the fermentation tanks. Fermentation takes around 10 days at a controlled temperature of approximately 18°C.
