ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Established in 1970, Colomba Bianca is the largest Sicilian grower cooperative and the biggest Italian producer of organic wine, with more than 1,800 hectares dedicated to organically farmed vines. Colomba Bianca also has a further 7,500 hectares of vineyard, growing indigenous and international varieties. Despite their size, they engage a philosophy of micro-viticulture and micro-winemaking to ensure the ultimate precision, quality and expression of terroir. The stunning range of single varieties and innovative blends are tailor made under the watchful eye of head winemaker Mattia Filippi. Dynamic and passionate, the Cantine is constantly evolving with investments in the vineyards and in the technology of their five specialist wineries. With their sights firmly fixed on the future of Sicilian wine, Colomba Bianca is rapidly becoming one of the leading names in organic winemaking in Italy.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The highest standards are attained in these sun-drenched vineyards, through the use of innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils and vine age. The vineyard sits at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level. The Syrah vines are planted at a density of 4,000 vines per hectare, are trained on a trellis and are pruned according to the Guyot method. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are hand-harvested at the optimum maturity levels, according to the terroir and microclimate of the vineyard.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The harvest took place by hand, and the grapes were delicately destemmed. The grapes were macerated at low temperatures on the skins to extract colour and soft tannins. Fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, the wine then went through malolactic conversion. The wine was aged in stainless steel for eight months to preserve the purity of the fruit.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
Abundant notes of ripe, red berry fruits and blackberry are complemented by delicate violet aromas. Juicy and moreish, the supple tannins envelop concentrated red berry flavours through to a subtle hint of black pepper on the finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Syrah 100%.
