Territory and wine style

The Sicilia DOC designation meets here the work of one of the most renowned realities on the island, in a wine-growing area that values high altitudes, ventilation, and a harvest attentive to the balance of the grapes. The vineyards destined for Almerita Brut are located about 500 meters above sea level, on sandy soils with a south/west exposure, elements that help preserve freshness and aromatic maturity. The result is a classic method sparkling wine with a clean, precise, and harmonious profile, with an artisanal imprint that reflects the care of the winery and the continuity of style over time.

The nose reveals delicate and orderly sensations, attributable to Chardonnay and the evolution of the classic method, with a profile that favors elegance and clarity. On the palate, the Almerita Brut shows good freshness, a pleasant salinity, and a balanced structure, supported by a subtle creaminess. The Brut dosage keeps the sip taut and dry, while the aging on the lees provides roundness and a refined finish, with good persistence.
