Valdibella Dhyana

A juicy rosé made from the hyper-local variety Perricone. The wine is textured, quirky, enticing on the nose, and an unusual profile of watermelon and red berries. A rosé for all weathers, it is on the darker side yet totally dry and delicious.

Made by the team at Valdibella, an impressive and inspiring cooperative based in Sicily's west who have a huge focus on biodiverse farmlands, an active social impact, and are part of the Addiopizzo anti-mafia movement. 

The grapes are hand-picked and are transported to the winery in small baskets, where they are de-stemmed, crushed and then soaked for a few hours before the pressing. After this the must is decanted and poured off. ‘Pied de cuvée’ (which is juice that has a high concentration of wild yeasts) is then added as part of the natural fermentation process. The fermentation lasts about 15 days at a temperature of 18 °C. After that, the wine is refined for the following winter and spring in stainless steel before bottling which takes place without any filtering to preserve its integrity and character.
