The Nerello Mascalese vines for the Fragore red wine grow in Donnafugata’s vineyard at Contrada Montelaguardia at an altitude of 750 m. on the northern slope of Etna outside of Randazzo in Eastern Sicily. The composition of the sandy texture lavic soil is characterized by a good organic endowment. Deep and rich in minerals the lavic soil allows strong root growth.
The grapes were harvested manually into crates with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Once the clusters reach the winery they undergo further selection followed by destemming and soft pressing. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with maceration on the skins for 10-12 days at a temperature of 25 °C. The wine aged in French oak (second and third passage barriques) for 14 months and then at least 10 months in the bottles before release.
Longevity 10-15 years.
