Nero d’Avola Syrah Sicilia IGT “Lumari” 2023 – Colomba Bianca

The grapes to produce Nero d’Avola Syrah Sicilia IGT “Lumari” Colomba Bianca were hand-picked in small cases of 20kg between late August and the beginning of September, once they had reached their optimum maturity. Maceration on the skins took place at low temperatures for two days for the extraction of tannins and colour. The Nero d’Avola Syrah Sicilia IGT “Lumari”  Colomba Bianca fermentation took place at 20°C in small, stainless steel tanks for approximately 12 days, followed by four months in tank to retain the aromatics and flavour profiles of both the Nero d’Avola and Syrah varieties.

The highest standards are attained through the use of innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils and vine age. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are hand harvested at the optimum maturity levels, according to the terroir and microclimate of the vineyard. The vineyards are situated in the south west of the island and are made up of distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sealevel up to 700 metres above sea level, imparting subtle complexity into the wine.
