Description

Extralucid Catarratto. Rigorous vinification technique to obtain a delicate and harmonious white with hints of Mediterranean fruits. A remarkable sapidity that contributes to its persistence.
An ancient and difficult variety to vinify. The particularly calcareous nature of our soil makes it extremely elegant, with a distinct acidic backbone and maintains a slight almond note that is not overpowering and gives the wine versatility in production and longevity.
