LIGAME Italian organic red wine 0.75 l - Valdibella

Syrah / IGP Terre Siciliane / organic farming / ICEA certification

Disa, in Sicilian dialect liame, is a very resistant spontaneous herbaceous plant. In our territory and in much of rural Sicily of several decades ago, it was used by farmers to tie vines. We have taken it as a symbol for this vine with ancient origins, which some authors trace back to the Persian city of Shiraz. Today's Syrah certainly comes from the Rhone valley and from there it spread throughout the world and found in Sicily a land suitable for its cultivation.

The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small baskets. They are then de-stemmed and added with naturally fermented must, prepared in the previous days with grapes from the same vineyard. Fermentation proceeds for about nine days at a temperature of 25 ° C, at the end of which the pomace is separated from the wine and pressed. After malolactic fermentation, which also occurs spontaneously, the wine ages for the winter and the following spring in steel before bottling.
