100% Zibibo.
Valdibella is a cooperative project, working with grapes from 10 growers in the Camporeale region of Sicily. They are all organic at the very least, though the Valdibella ethos pushes all their members towards a biodiverse and regenerative agriculture model, using no tillage in the vines where possible. This also means growing vines alongside olives, almonds, figs, pomegranates, etc, and close to natural areas, woodland, ponds, and fallow hedges thereby creating a more stable and balanced agro-ecosystem. The Grillo for this wine comes from three growers, the bulk which is from one of their vineyards with the most amount of lime in the soil.

The grapes are destemmed and stay on their skins overnight in the cellar prior to fermentation. The grapes are then pressed and fermentation kicks off naturally in steel tanks. Fermentation can take up to one month, after which the wine is racked off its gross lees and returned to steel where it stays for around 6 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small sulphite addition.
