WINE MAKING PROCESS
The SERA Syrah da Uve Leggermente Appassite Organic 2021 begins with hand-harvested Syrah grapes that have undergone a light withering on the vine. This process is followed by a 30-day maceration period, allowing for significant extraction of color and flavor. Fermentation takes place at temperatures between 22-28°C. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in steel tanks for 4 to 5 months. Assuli employs certified organic farming practices across its vineyards, which are situated in western Sicily on clayey soils with calcareous endowments at altitudes ranging from 100 to 600 meters. The winemaking approach emphasizes the expression of the Sicilian terroir and the quality of the grapes.
