The grapes are hand-harvested and selected in mid-October. The grapes are then brought to the winery in shallow crates, where the whole bunches are gently crushed. Maceration takes place for about a week in steel vats at a temperature of 25-28°C. The wine is then aged in stainless steel vats for about 15 months, followed by 3 months of bottle aging.
The color is red with light ruby hues.
The nose is fresh with fruity and floral notes.
On the palate, the Pistus is fruity, fresh, mineral and harmonious with pleasant tannins.
Serving temperature:16-18° C
I Custodi
I Custodi are the guardians, the custodians of the vineyards of Etna: guarding means preserving the land, maintaining the traditions and respecting the people. From these values and from the love of a beautiful land, where wine was brought by man more than two millennia ago, come the wines of I Custodi, the result of the generosity and minerality of the warm volcanic soil, the cold of the Muntagna and the sun of Sicily.
