Production Methods

Biodynamic

Wine made from grapes grown organically using natural composting techniques and special preparations of herbal sprays while following the astronomical calendar.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.

Staff Pick Notes

Muscatedda is local name for the first vineyard that is harvested in Val di Noto. Utilizing the only native white grape from the area, Moscato di Noto, this is an example of the elegance the highly aromatic varietal can bring when utilized in a dry version. Aged in steel tanks with a continuous Battonage following the moon phases this is a wine that shows all the bright and elegant minerality of the Southern Sicilian region. Stone fruits and light thyme are explosive on the palate, and the textured finish of this wine screams for it to be cracked open to quench your thirst as the warm weather arrives. In a world filled with Grillo and Cattarato find yourself a Muscatedda and thank me later.
