Australis
Pale straw yellow color. The nose reveals fresh notes of acacia flowers, wisteria, exotic fruits, and apricot.
Abbinamenti
The red prawn tartare from Mazara del Vallo harmoniously pairs with the complexity of this wine, offering an explosion of sea flavors.
The freshness of the amberjack tartare combines with the intensity of Australis, creating a perfect marriage of flavors and textures.
Fried seafood, the pairing that makes Australis shine. The harmony between the crispy seafood and the elegance of this wine creates a symphony of flavors that will captivate your palate.
Vinificazione
The process begins with destemming and crushing, followed by a soft pressing with inert gas and static sedimentation at a low temperature.
After inoculation with selected yeasts, the must ferments at a temperature of 15°C – 16°C. The wine undergoes a secondary fermentation using the Charmat or Martinotti method for about 18 days, after which it is bottled using the isobaric method.
The southern wind
Australis comes from Latin, meaning "austral," "southern," "midday wind," "south wind." It represents the Ostro, a cardinal wind.
Contrada Valso is fully exposed to this wind, which, being a warm wind, is reflected in the orange color of the label to evoke its warmth.
