Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright aromatics of the fruit, while careful aging results in a velvety tannin structure that supports the wine’s inherent richness.
The Terroir of Sicily
The vineyards of Bastioni della Rocca benefit from the unique terroir of the Sicilia DOC, characterized by abundant sunshine, cooling coastal breezes, and diverse soil compositions ranging from limestone to clay. These conditions impart a distinctive freshness and minerality to the wine, balancing its bold fruit character with a nuanced complexity.

For a vegetarian option, consider pairing it with mushroom risotto or roasted vegetables to accentuate its earthy undertones.
The Perfect Pour
Serve this wine slightly below room temperature, around 16°C (60°F), to enhance its vibrant flavors. Allowing it to breathe before serving will further reveal its complex aroma profile.
