An indigenous variety among the oldest in western Sicily, Perricone offers a wide range of olfactory sensations of fresh red berry fruits, confirmed by a pleasant persistence. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 22 and 25°C, and the aging process occurs in stainless steel tanks for a period of no less than 6 months. An additional month of bottle aging is carried out before release to the market.
