Eduardo Torres Versante Nord 2020

Description

Eduardo Torres Versante Nord is a red wine made mainly with the Nerello Mascalese variety, and with other indigenous varieties by the Eduardo Torres Acosta winery in Sicily, Italy.
These grapes come from two plots called Pietramarina and Crasa with vines of approximately 50 years old and are north facing, planted on sandy soils of volcanic origin. These grapes are grown at an altitude of between 550 and 750 metres, following the principles of biodynamic agriculture.
The vineyards are cultivated manually and no chemicals are added to preserve the natural balance of the vineyard, helping to maintain biodiversity.

Winemaking

Eduardo Torres Versante Nord Rosso is made by blending 10% of the entire harvest and macerating with the skins for 15 days.
Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks with little or no sulphur and no temperature control. After vinification, the wine is aged for 16 months in 750 and 3,000 litre Slovenian oak foudres.
