“Tagòs” by Caruso & Minini showes golden and elegant nuances, a pleasant surprise of the Sicilian winemaking tradition to be sipped at the end of the meal. The late harvest is the key to understand an enveloping white wine produced with grapes from the Grillo vine which bunches are hand harvested after a natural drying on the plant. In the cellar we carry out a manual destemming, low temperature maceration, up to fermentation in tonneaux. Once reached the ideal alcohol content, new thermal conditions are set in order to stop the fermentation, allowing a rest of the wine in steel tanks before bottling. An intense, unique wine with notes of honey, cinnamon and officinal herbs.
