Wine Production
The bunches dry in the sun for 5-7 days, followed by vinification. The wine is then finished in stainless steel for 18 months. These factors make the wine sweet,with concentrated acidity and sustained alcohol content.
About the Vineyard
Sese is made from Zibibbo grown on the tiny island of Pantelleria off the south west coast of Sicily. The vineyards are managed with the fundamental objective of helping the plants to protect themselves by guaranteeing, above all, the health of the soil and the environment by employing natural procedures.
