Saignée Rosso - Terre Siciliane I.G.P. - Az. Agr. Aldo Viola

The Azienda Agricola Aldo Viola covers 16 hectares near Alcamo in Western Sicily. For Aldo Viola wines are the result of a passion, designed to be free of any standardization. The unpredictability of spontaneous fermentations and the purity of its grape juice without any kind of added or subtracted substances create a magic, a mirror of the exaltation of a very suitable territory. The wines are not subject to any filtration, clarification, stabilization or addition of sulfites. In the vineyard the naturalistic approach based on organic farming techniques combined with biodynamic concepts tend to enhance a management aimed at producing wines that contain a strong territorial identity.

Saignée Rosso is an experiment by Aldo Viola, a natural red wine, pleasant, reminiscent of the good wine of the past with a light maceration and rapid fermentation, a fresh and easy drinkable wine that takes you to the past. The grape varieties are Syrah, Nerello Mascalese and Perricone. The Saignée method means “bleeding off” all or a portion of the red juice after a period of skin contact and is a winemaking technique used to make a rosé wine from red grapes.
