The vinification of Lilium follows the same biodynamic approach that defines Château Climens, where every step is carried out with respect for the natural environment. The wine ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures in small glass vessels (WineGlobes), reflecting the estate’s relentless pursuit of absolute purity in the wine’s character—a goal it...
Facing such a great terroir you can only stand in awe and respect. The effort to minimize interventions is aimed at enhancing the potential of the old vineyards. They seem to unfold their "memories" in the wine, giving great complexity and absolute balance. Without excesses, but full-bodied and rich, with charmingly ripe fruit along with multiple aromatic...
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks without the addition of commercial yeasts, relying instead on native fermentation. The wine remains on fine lees for an extended period, which imparts a pronounced “yeasty” character alongside the vibrant fruit. On the palate, the acidity is tense, sharp, and linear—bringing precision and energy that...
Sklavos' unstoppable experimentation both in the Robola zone on the slopes of Mount Ainos and on the peninsula of Paliki yield small quantity vinifications every year that through the philosophy of the winery elevate the sense of the terroir from which they come. Pernari is a single-vineyard vinification from a vineyard in the Lakomati subzone with its...
Etna Bianco was first put into production in 2005 and Carricante is the dominant variety in the blend with a percentage of 70% depending on the year. Carricante is a grape defined by the minerality and saltiness of the terroir. A feast of other field-blends such as Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia make up the rest of the wine. Etna's whites are still...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
The nose reveals aromas of grapefruit, lime, lemon, and apricot, while the palate is characterized by refreshing acidity and relatively good volume. It was vinified in stainless steel tanks and remained in contact with the lees for a few months to develop more character and texture. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, fried fish, and fresh salads.
With Etna Bianco from the dramatic, dark, volcanic ash-filled terroir of Santo Spirito, Marco de Grazia takes fruit ripeness, complexity, and length on the palate to another level. Initially somewhat closed and compact, over time it unfolds a deep, earthy, mineral dimension and greater extroversion in the fruit, which borders on the exotic. The barrel is...
