Vineyard elevation : about 150 meters above sea level.

Vineyard

Syrah grapes come from the Partanna area at an altitude of about 150 meters above sea level.

The soil has a silty-clayey structure rich in organic matter, of alluvial origin.

Nero d’Avola grapes are grown at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level in a slightly hilly, medium-textured soil rich in organic matter, where, air currents, coming from the sea, help maintain a healthy and dry environment until harvest day.

Harvest

Late August for Syrah, second decade of September for Nero d’Avola.

Grapes are harvested during the coolest hours of the day, preserving aromas and not setting off spontaneous fermentation processes.

Vinification

Selected grapes are vinified separately in steel silos at a temperature of about 25°C (77°F), macerating on the skins for about 10-15 days.

At the end of natural malolactic fermentation, maturation continues in steel.

After blending, the product ages in the bottle for another 3-4 months.

Organoleptic characteristics

Red Lilium shows a bright ruby red color with purple highlights on the nail.

Very fruity bouquet with hints of red fruits such as wild berries, blackberries, raspberries and slightly spicy on the palate reminiscent of licorice.

A young, harmonious and pleasant wine that recalls the warmth of Sicily.

Pairings: Recommended pairing with sauce-based dishes, main courses of meat that is not too fatty. Exuberant when served as an aperitif Lilium rosso accompanied by cured meats.
