Harmonium Firriato DOC Sicilia

Harmonium is a wine made from the most famous Sicilian grape variety: the Nero d'Avola. This wine is made with grapes from three selected different crus of Nero d'Avola of the Firriato estates; Cru della Ferla, Cru della Lepre and Cru della Beccaccia. The grapes are hand-harvested only when perfectly ripened. One peculiarity of these crus is the wide difference in temperature between daytime and night-time despite their different exposures. The grapes are brought to the winery for the vinification with maceration which is carried out for about 15-20 days at 25-30°C. After this the wine is separated from the skins and put to age in French and American oak barriques for 12months. Afterwards the best barriques are blended and bottled. Bottle ageing lasts for 6 months before releasing.
