Federico II Vertical 2011, 2015, 2016 with case

In a unique and inimitable terroir, 400 m above sea level, in the heart of Sicily, there are 75 hectares of vineyards owned by the Milazzo family, where the climatic characteristics of the hill and the morphology of the land combine with the beneficial influences of a typically Mediterranean climate, with mild summers and mild winters; a constant and light breeze, which favors the day-night temperature range and good ventilation of the plant. A territory characterized by a particular concentration of morphologically varied soils: from dark clays integrated with organic matter to white calcareous ones; the former with constant and homogeneous fertility, the latter ideal for guaranteeing wines rich and complex aromatic profiles. With a history that spans five generations and that continues in the name of valorizing the company tradition, thanks to the commitment of Giuseppina Milazzo and Saverio Lo Leggio, united in the desire to give continuity to the virtuous evolution of the family business, the most interesting aspect of the way of "making wine" is represented by the tireless work in the vineyard. The natural improvement of the vines is the result of a technical path that has been going on for over fifty years, which made them the first producers of classic method sparkling wines in Sicily, and the first Sicilian winemakers, between the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties, to exalt the winemaking from native Sicilian vines. Organic and sustainable. The BIO certification seals the commitment that they have always put in place as winemakers to produce quality and is also evidence of the responsibility they feel to be custodians of the environment in which they operate, with the precise intent of arriving at producing a great Sicilian Classic Method sparkling wine.

"Federico II" is the flagship classic method of the Milazzo winery, a very complex and articulated sparkling wine, with enormous evolutionary potential, capable of competing with the most prestigious Champagnes. The pressing takes place on the whole bunch with enhancement of only the first pressings, subsequently the must ferments partly in steel and partly in oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve its freshness. Subsequently, the wine is assembled, the liqueur de tirage is added and it is placed in stacks where it matures for 6-7 years on the yeasts.
