ORGANIC RED WINE ROSSO APPASSIMENTO IGP Terre Siciliane Corte Ibla Giuseppe Verdi Selection Bio & Vegan
Creating a red wine using appassimento brings a whole new dimension to a wine – Corte Ibla Appassimento has a rich and complex structure, with very soft berryishfruits and a touch of spice. Incredibly characterful, it has layer upon layer of intense and diverse fruit flavors and a very long finish. Ideal with barbequed meats or hearty pasta dishes, such as lasagne.
APPASSIMENTO: We dry a proportion of the grapes on the vine, the rest we pick and dry on racks with the utmost care.
Harvest: Harvest is done by hand in mid-September
Vinification: Vinification is carried out as gently as possible. De-stemming is followed by a particularly soft crushing. We carry out very frequent pumping over in the early part of fermentation.
Ageing: After the Malolactic is complete, the wine is aged in 30HL Slavonian oak barrels and barriques for 3 months before bottling. Grapes: Principally Nero d’Avola, with a small proportion of a few very local grape varieties.
CORTE IBLA 1697 - Organic & Vegan Friendly - SICILIAN ESTATE back to 1967
CORTE IBLA comes from Vittoria, tucked away in the South Eastern corner of the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily. Sicily is famous for many things: Mount Etna, Syracuse, the sun, stunning beaches, crystal clear waters. “Ibla”comes from the “Hyblaean Mountains”, or “Monti Iblei” in Italian. ‘Corte’ refers to a courtyard, from which you have a spectacular view of the “Ibla” mountains. The estate where we grow the grapes for CORTE IBLA is traceable back to 1697 and we have the original plan of how the vineyards and winery were set out back in the seventeenth century. Dominated by the mighty Mount Etna, Sicily boasts a unique landscape and is one of the Mediterranean’s largest islands. Sicily can trace its history back to ancient civilisations, with several world heritage sites such as Syracuse and Agrigento helping to tell the story. Sicily’s ideal climate not only preserves the ancient monuments, but also makes the island the ideal place to cultivate a huge range of crops from vegetables to grapes. Wine has always played a major and integral part both in Sicily’s past and its present.
Our aim in the production of Corte Ibla is to preserve the land for which we are responsible, and to leave as little impact on the planet as possible. In Vittoria we have the perfect micro- climate in which to achieve these aims since the grapes are grown in ideal soil, with the regular sea breezes keeping them disease-free in order to mature perfectly.
TERROIR Terra Rossa Vittoria has often been called a “winemaker’s paradise”, with its “terra rossa”, or red soil, undulating vineyard slopes, abundant sunshine. The “terra rossa” is a very special soil, typical of the region, whose characteristics help shape our wines: it is fertile, rich in iron, with a layer of limestone underneath.
VITICULTURE Where any intervention is necessary, we have natural solutions such as the favino bean that grows on the estate and is used as a completely natural fertilizer
WINEMAKING Just as innovation is an important part of our winemaking philosophy, so is respect for the past and we pride ourselves in preserving the traditions of the estate.
