WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Camurrìa begins with organically grown white grapes from the Terre Siciliane IGT. The defining characteristic of this wine is its maceration on skins, a technique typically reserved for red wines, which imparts its amber hue and textural complexity. Fermentation is entirely spontaneous, relying on the vineyard's indigenous yeasts to guide the process in barrel, contributing to a unique aromatic profile. Following fermentation, the wine is left unfiltered, preserving its natural integrity and allowing for a richer, more nuanced expression of the grape and terroir. This approach ensures a wine that is vibrant, authentic, and full of character.
