Harvested in mid-September, gently pressed and cold-fermented at 13°C for 15 days, then aged for four months in concrete tanks.

An exceptionally versatile white wine that pairs well with a wide variety of dishes. Its classic notes of tropical fruit and bitter almond make it an excellent match for notoriously difficult ingredients such as artichokes and asparagus.

THE GRAPE VARIETY AND TERROIR

TRAPANI・SICILIA・ITALIA

Catarratto is one of Sicily’s most important indigenous grape varieties and the most widely planted on the island. It is used in many Sicilian white wines, producing approachable wines with excellent texture.

We cultivate the less common Catarratto Bianco Lucido biotype, renowned for producing elegant, high-quality wines with complexity, vibrant acidity and appealing minerality. Our vineyards on Montagna Grande face north and east and lie more than 400 metres above sea level, on pure limestone bedrock covered by a very thin, nutrient-poor layer of topsoil.
