Contrada C Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGT

Description :

Contrada Chiappemacine is a small parcel located at 550 meters / 1804 feet ASL—the lowest of the Passopisciaro contrade. This beautiful vineyard produces a full and lush wine thanks to the character of its sand and limestone soil. It lies just at the edge of the lowest lava flows. The breeze that runs through the leaves of the century-old vines and the root system, which digs deep into the limestone make it possible to craft a complete and enveloping Nerello Mascalese. A contrada with a gourmet soul. Chiappemacine is a very interesting parcel with old bush-trained vines that have adapted well to warmer temperatures, imparting great structure and depth to the wine.
Vinification: Alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel vats, then 18 months of aging in large Slavonian oak barrels.
