The stunning range of single variety and innovative blends are tailor-made under the watchful eye of head winemaker Mattia Filippi. Dynamic and passionate, the Cantine is constantly evolving with investments in the vineyards and in the technology of their five specialist wineries. With their sights firmly fixed on the future of Sicilian wine, Colomba Bianca is rapidly becoming one of the leading names in organic winemaking in Italy.

The harvest took place by hand and the grapes were delicately destemmed. The grapes were macerated at low temperatures on the skins to extract colour and soft tannins. Fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures the wine then went through malolactic conversion. The wine was aged in stainless steel for eight months in order to preserve the purity of fruit.
