Bianco Riserva Sicilia DALILA DOC Feudo Arancio

Dalila di Feudo Arancio is a Sicilian white wine made from two grape varieties, Grillo and Viognier, grown in the Sambuca di Sicilia area, in the province of Agrigento. The vineyards develop on sandy soils and well exposed to the sun, in a warm and ventilated environment that promotes optimal ripening of the grapes and full aromatic expression. The harvest takes place between the end of August and the first week of September, with selective harvesting of the grapes. After destemming and soft pressing, the must is protected from contact with air and subjected to cold decanting. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with part of the Viognier also vinified in wood to add complexity. The wine then ages on the lees and is assembled before bottling, for a harmonious and balanced result.
