WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nerojbleo Gulfi is produced using 100% Nero d'Avola grapes that are hand-harvested. Fermentation occurs in steel tanks under controlled temperatures, followed by a prolonged maceration period on the skins to extract essential components. The wine then matures for 12 months in a blend of barriques and large oak barrels. A minimum of one year of bottle refinement follows before the wine is released. The winery employs organic and biodynamic farming methods and does not irrigate its vineyards.
