Sabuci is one of Cortese’s very best #wines: the #grapes are very carefully selected from our best Nero d’Avola and #Frappato grapes. The latter is fermented in 7hl terracotta amphorae, celebrating the ancient origins of #winemaking, which has its roots in this corner of #Sicily.

Even during the festive period, work in the #vineyard doesn’t stop. We have been doing the #winter #pruning”, which guarantees two fundamental advantages for our #vines: the balance between the quantity and #quality of the #grapes and the ability of the vines to regenerate.

#Sicily #History tells us that #Ragusa was besieged for the first time by the #Arabs in the ninth century. This is the reason that the #baroque quater, with its labarynthine steps and tiny alleys, brings to mind the Arab medina. #architecture #ancient #ourLand

Did you know that #tasting begins in the #barrel? To monitor the evolution of the #wine during #ageing, our #winemakers regularly conduct various tastings and tests on the colour, the acidity and the palate in order that the final wine arrives in perfect condition at your table!

We #toast the month of #love! “Unexpressed love is like #wine kept in a bottle: it does not quench thirst”. Have you already thought about the #bottle for Valentine’s Day? We suggest our Senia Nero d’Avola, with its warm notes of blackberries, cherries and plums. #winelovers

The word “#barrique” was orignally a French unit of measurement, corresponding to approximately 225 litres. Today it means a small oak barrel, with a capacity of between 225 and 228 litres, used to age both red and white wines. #wine #ageing #fermentation #winemaking

In #oenology, #maceration is a phase of #vinification pre-fermentation when the skins are in contact with the must for varying amounts of time. The objective is to extract important substances from the skins such as polyphenols. #cortese #cortesewines #organicwine #sicilianwine

Caltagirone #ceramics are known all over the world and have made Caltagirone the centre of Sicilian #craftmanship! They are characterised by a white background and colours of brilliant blue, yellow and green and date back to Neolithic times.

The term “#blend” means blending #wines together once they have finished #fermentation. Our experienced #winemakers seek to perfect the #aromas and flavours of a wine through their blending techniques, which takes years to be able to achieve. #winemaking #winery #ItalianWine
