{"product_id":"firriato-favinia-la-muciara-2018","title":"Firriato Favinia La Muciara 2018","description":"\u003cb\u003eFavinia La Muciara\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the white wines from the \u003cb\u003eFirriato\u003c\/b\u003e winery. Every sip will convey a fragment of the soul of its homeland, the island of \u003cb\u003eFavignana\u003c\/b\u003e. La Muciara is the name given to the small boat on which the tuna fishery owners would sail to monitor their work routines, a title that reflects the symbiosis this \u003cb\u003ewhite wine\u003c\/b\u003e has with the \u003cb\u003esea\u003c\/b\u003e. In fact, the \u003cb\u003eterroir\u003c\/b\u003e where the Favinia La Muciara grapes are grown is truly unique: the vineyards grow just a few meters from the Calamoni cliffs, and—since the Sicilian island is not of volcanic origin like other Mediterranean islands—the vines sink their roots into a sandy soil of Quaternary biocalcarenite, sedimented as it emerged from the sea and brought with it many marine fossils. A unique feature of these crops is that they can be fertilized by \u003cb\u003eposidonia\u003c\/b\u003e, a seaweed whose dried leaves are washed ashore by the waves, which imparts its nutritional qualities to the wine. The \u003cb\u003eclimate\u003c\/b\u003e and sea breeze help the plants stay healthy and absorb the salty scent of the Egadi Islands. Favinia La Muciara is a great tribute to Sicily and is produced with the native \u003cb\u003eGrillo, Catarratto, and Zibibbo\u003c\/b\u003e grapes. After hand-harvesting them into wooden crates—which takes place in the first week of September—the \u003cb\u003ewhite vinification\u003c\/b\u003e proceeds with soft pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation. The \u003cb\u003eaging\u003c\/b\u003e lasts at least six months on the \u003cb\u003efine lees\u003c\/b\u003e in steel tanks agitated daily. The wine then continues to refine in the bottle for at least another two months.","brand":"Firriato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44505885540523,"sku":"34010","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/firriato-favinia-la-muciara-2018_34010_1.jpg?v=1773684732","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/firriato-favinia-la-muciara-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
