It is made from overripe grapes harvested by hand, extracted with a traditional press, fermented in concrete with continuous micro-oxygenation, and aged in wood a few metres from the sea. Florio describes it as the result of twenty years of ageing and devotion. It is suggested as a meditation wine, with avocado salad and aged cheeses. Amber in colour, with spices, fruit in spirit and pastry cream on the nose. The palate is balanced, persistent and warm.
