The Giuseppe Tulone Merlot Terre Siciliane IGT is a Sicilian red wine of great character, produced 100% with Merlot grapes grown in the Sciacca area, in Sicily. This wine stands out for its alcohol content of 14.5% and for its organic and artisanal production, which enhances its quality and authenticity. The soil on which the vines grow is clayey, of medium depth, enriched by abundant pebbles and limestone, giving the wine a unique complexity. After harvest, 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 pomace and transfer of the must-wine into barriques is carried out to start the fermentations. The ageing takes place in second passage barriques for a period of 36 months, giving the wine an elegant structure and a complex aromatic bouquet. The Giuseppe Tulone Merlot pairs perfectly with red meats, white meats, semi-mature cheeses and vegetables, offering a rich and satisfying taste experience. The ideal serving temperature is between 14 and 18 °C, to best enhance its organoleptic characteristics. This wine represents the essence of the Sicilian wine tradition, with particular attention to sustainability and artisanal quality.
