Siccari is Sicilian dialect for sun-dried; we let our finest grapes dry naturally in the Sicilian sunshine, a wine-making style called appassimento. The juice in the grapes becomes very concentrated, giving a wine which is truly different.Siccari has an intense bouquet of damsons, it is voluptuous and silky-smooth, with layers of luscious flavours, from raisins to Morello cherries.

Tasting Notes
Rich and complex structure, with very soft berry fruits and a touch of spice. Incredibly characterful, it has layer upon layer intense and diverse fruit flavours and a very long finish.

History
TWP Wines is run by Stefano Girelli, whose family has been at the heart of Italian winemaking for three generations. Stefano’s portfolio stretches the length of Italy, from the Veneto, to Tuscany, to Puglia and Sicily, and it places a strong emphasis on Stefano’s passion for organic methods. Leading consultant winemaker, Stefano Chioccioli, a friend and colleague of Stefano Girelli for many years, uses the best possible indigenous grapes to create wines with great quality and individual character.

Regional Information
The grapes come from vineyards in the Vittoria area of South East Sicily. The sandy soil is known locally as “ferretti”, which adds to the concentration and finesse of the wines.

Current Vintage
2020

Vinification Details
Vinification is carried out as gently as possible. De-stemming is followed by a particularly soft crushing. Frequent pumping over in the early part of fermentation. After the Malolactic is complete, the wine is aged in 30HL Slavonian oak barrels.
