The grapes of iCustodi’s Saeculare come from vines up to 250 years old and are harvested manually around mid-October. After selection, the grapes are carefully brought to the winery in shallow crates. Here they are stripped of about 80% of the clusters and gently crushed. Maceration takes place for 12 days in steel vats at a temperature of 25-28°C. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in tonneaux. Aging takes place for a minimum of 36 months, both in tonneaux and in bottle. The wine shows a ruby red color. On the nose, it is ethereal and intense, with hints of ripe fruit and tobacco. On the palate, the wine presents itself elegant and harmonious, with a considerably long finish and pleasant tannins. Serving temperature: 18-20° C

I Custodi

I Custodi are the guardians, the keepers 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.
