Grapes: Nero d’Avola and Shiraz.
Vineyard area: both the Nero d’Avola and Shiraz grapes are grown in south west part of Sicily close to Trapani. The soil is sandy and rich in minerals. Vines are trained by the traditional “spalliera” method, producing about 80 hl/ha.

Harvest: both grape varieties are carefully harvested by hand in mid to late September. Partial picking is employed to select only the bunches that are perfectly mature.
