The pleasure of a fresh and fragrant bubble, obtained from an indigenous Sicilian grape variety. Long gone are the days when Sicilian wines were recognised above all for their power and lack of finesse. Today, thanks to increasingly delicate and precise wine-making techniques, it is possible to find little gems like this organic wine from Cantine Europa. Pure Grecanico, from the vineyards of Trapani, skilfully worked to obtain a fresh sparkling wine that can be enjoyed on a thousand occasions. The grapes are harvested in the first ten days of August when they still retain a good level of acidity. Quickly brought to the cellar, they are gently pressed and immediately refrigerated. Vinification is thermo-conditioned to enhance the freshness of the fruit and, once the first fermentation is complete, the base wine undergoes the so-called "presa di spuma" in an autoclave. Before reaching the bottle, the sparkling wine remains in the autoclave for about two months. The result is a deliciously fresh bubble, with a wide range of fruity and floral sensations. Excellent as an aperitif and in combination with simple fish dishes.
Cantine Europa is one of those fine Sicilian wineries that is in step with the times. It is, in fact, a large social winery with a very precise mission. That of making the most of the rich heritage of soils, vines and wines of its territory. After all, the great sunshine of the land in western Sicily, where the climate is often mild and windy and where the plains alternate with gentle hills, offers favourable conditions for advanced and selective viticulture. And here, between Trapani, Agrigento and Palermo, Cantina Europa can count on over 4,500 hectares of vineyards, managed with passion by farming families that have always been committed to safeguarding ancient traditions. And so, thanks to the countless combinations of local and international varieties, soil characteristics, training systems, vineyard exposure and planting altitude, it is now possible to make a rigorous selection of grapes, guaranteeing the best possible quality of the wines produced.
