Warm, dry, and windy summers. Significant differences between day and night temperatures. More information about the producer can be found at Donnafugata.

Manual harvest of grapes in crates with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Further quality selection is carried out in the cellar, where green and overripe berries that may still be on the bunches are removed. Fermentation in stainless steel and maceration on the skins for 14 days at a temperature of 28–30°C. Aging for 12 months in new and old French oak barriques and subsequently in the bottle for at least 20 months.
