The Giuseppe Tulone Merlot Without Added Sulfites Terre Siciliane IGT is a Sicilian red wine of great character, produced 100% with Merlot grapes grown in the Sciacca area. This wine stands out for its artisanal and organic production, without the addition of sulfites, thus enhancing the purity and authenticity of the Sicilian terroir. The vineyards grow on a medium-depth clay soil, enriched by abundant pebbles and limestone, which give the wine a complex structure and a unique aromatic profile. After harvesting, the grapes undergo a crushing-destemming followed by a prolonged maceration of about 12 days at controlled temperature. This process allows the must to acquire its characteristic ruby color. Subsequently, manual pressing of the marc is carried out and the must-wine is transferred to barriques to start fermentations. The aging takes place in second-passage barriques for 36 months, giving the wine considerable complexity and depth. The Giuseppe Tulone Merlot is ideal to accompany red meats, white meats, semi-matured cheeses and vegetables, offering a rich and satisfying taste experience. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 14 and 18 °C to fully appreciate its aromatic and taste nuances. This wine represents an excellence of Sicilian viticulture, best expressing the characteristics of Merlot in a context of sustainable and environmentally friendly production.
