WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Crudo Catarratto Zibibbo is produced using grapes sourced from Sicily. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, typically ranging from 14-16°C, for approximately 24 days. This method is employed to preserve the wine's aromatic qualities and freshness. The grapes are grown in vineyards located in areas like Salaparuta, situated at altitudes of 400 meters, in soils characterized as alluvial and deep with medium texture and good organic matter. The wine is often described as being produced using organic farming practices. Nordic Sea Winery's approach involves centralized production and global grape sourcing.
