White Lilium

White Lilium

Vineyard elevation : about 400 meters above sea level.

Vineyard

Inzolia grapes come from the Partanna area at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level.

The soil, rich in organic matter, has a mixed structure, tending toward sandy, where the limestone rock reserves a distinctive flavor and freshness to the wine.

Zibibbo grapes are grown at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level. The hilly terrain is medium-textured, rich in silt and clay.

The high temperature ranges between day and night, even 15 degrees, give the wine a rich bouquet of citrusy floral scents typical of Sicily.

Harvest

First decade of September for Inzolia and second decade of September for Zibibbo.

Grapes are harvested during the coolest hours of the day so as not to set off fermentation processes that would degrade the aromas.

Vinification

Separate vinification is carried out, in thermo-controlled steel winemakers at a temperature of 15°C to preserve aromas.

At the end of fermentation, maturation continues at a controlled temperature, with subsequent blending and bottling and brief bottle aging.
