The Syrah "Calanìca" from the Sicilian winery Duca di Salaparuta is made up with Syrah grapes in purity from the vineyards located in the western part of the island at about 200m a.s.l. Immediately after the harvest, which takes place in the second half of September, the must stays in contact with the skins for a short period. Before being bottled it rests for a few months in steel on its own yeasts and after bottling it spends a month in a temperature-conditioned cellar to ensure that the characteristic bouquet develops.
