WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gurrieri Pas Dosé Spumante is produced using the Metodo Classico. Native Sicilian red grapes, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, are vinified in white. Following primary fermentation in steel tanks with controlled temperatures, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is then aged on its lees for an extended period, ranging from 22 to over 48 months, with manual riddling employed to clarify the wine. The producer emphasizes organic and artisanal methods, focusing on minimal intervention to reflect the Sicilian terroir.
