Yoleik - SETE

Yoleik - SETE

Yoleik by Sete is an easy, straight white wine, with good depth, for a fresh and satisfying drink. 2 days of maceration on the skins and 8 months of aging in steel on the fine lees. The grapes come from three adjacent parcels planted between the 1950s and 1960s located in the locality "Lago dei vignali" called in local dialect: "Gliò Lago", where "gliò" stands for "il". In this area there is a small lake that farmers used to irrigate their crops. YŌLEIK is an invented word that in a certain sense embodies an important aspect of the Sete project, the connection between the local and global dimensions, between countryside-province and city. The first part (YŌ) refers to the interjection of the American English slang "Yo" which in terms of sound recalls the article in Privernese dialect "gliò", while the second (LEIK) is the phonetic transcription of the word lago in English.
