WINE DESCRIPTION
La Sibilla Piedirosso is a distinguished Campanian wine that celebrates the agricultural traditions of the Campi Flegrei, a region rich in history and culture. Produced by La Sibilla, one of the few Italian wineries preserving the heritage of ungrafted vines, this wine is crafted from Piedirosso grapes grown on 30 to 85-year-old vines using the Guyot training system. These vines thrive in the region's mild climate, with roots embedded in volcanic, sandy-loam soils. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and undergoes a brief three-month aging period in steel, resulting in a straightforward yet profound expression of the terroir. La Sibilla Piedirosso is versatile in cuisine, complementing both earthy dishes and tomato-based fish soups, embodying the winery's commitment to simplicity and respect for the land.
