Zelìa comes from pure Syrah grapes vinified in white. The grapes are harvested strictly by hand, early in the morning to ensure that the grapes maintain a low temperature until the moment of processing. Once brought to the cellar they are selected through a double sorting belt, de-stemmed and sent to a stainless steel tank where they carry out a cold maceration for about 5/6 hours. Once maceration has been carried out, the liquid is tapped directly from the tank and sent to ferment at low temperatures in another stainless steel tank. This processing, together with a slightly early harvest, allows us to keep the aromas and aromas of the grapes themselves unaltered, which we then find in the finished product. At the end of fermentation, the wine undergoes 3/4 months of aging in steel and about 1 month of aging in the bottle before being marketed.
