PHÔS -Terre siciliane IGT
La denominazione del nostro vino Terre siciliane IGT deriva dal greco antico φῶς (phōs) luce, è stato scelto questo nome con lo scopo di mantenere il legame con la tradizione ellenica che colonizzò le nostre coste messinesi, dando vita alla coltivazione di uve e generando così un parallelismo tra luce ed il faro D.O.C. che rappresenta la punta di diamante dell’azienda.
The label features an image of a vintage motorcycle from the Verzera family's private collection, highlighting their passion for historic vehicles. The motorcycle's headlight projects beams of blue light that enhance the colors of the sky and sea, evoking the season when Sicily's scents and hues are most vibrant. This imagery reflects the sense of freedom and excitement associated with riding a motorcycle.
This wine is crafted from Nerello Mascalese grapes vinified in white and Chardonnay, creating a blend rich in aromas and flavors shaped by the sea breeze of the Tyrrhenian coast that caresses our vineyards.
The wine showcases a lively pale yellow hue and delivers a dynamic aromatic profile with elegant citrus notes and intertwining broom flowers. This explosive combination highlights subtle mineral and saline nuances. On the palate, it presents a crisp, fresh entry, quickly balanced by a satisfying breadth. The finish is juicy and enhanced by a pleasant, savory salinity. technical sheet
