Harvested in mid-September, gently pressed and cold-fermented at 13°C for 15 days, then simply aged for 4 months in concrete tanks.
An incredibly versatile white wine that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Its classic notes of tropical fruit and bitter almond make it particularly suitable for challenging ingredients such as artichokes and asparagus.

THE GRAPE AND THE LAND

TRAPANI・SICILIA・ITALIA

Catarratto is one of the most important native grape varieties of the island of Sicily and is the most widely planted. It is used in nearly all of the island’s white wines, producing a wine that is both structured and easy to drink.

We use the less common biotype – Catarratto Bianco Lucido – which is known for producing elegant, high-quality wines: complex, with vibrant acidity and a հաճasant minerality.

Our vineyards are north- and east-facing on Montagna Grande, located at over 400 meters above sea level, on pure limestone bedrock with a very thin, poor subsoil.
