About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Sicily. They are Catarratto Extra-Lucido, a variety with brighter acidity than regular Catarratto.

Vinification

The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and vinified gently to preserve their natural freshness and aroma. They undergo cold skin maceration at 8 °C for around 12 hours, followed by gentle pressing. The must is left to settle, then fermented at a controlled 18–20 °C.

Ageing

The wine ages on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for at least 4 months, which adds freshness, fruit, minerality and a pleasing texture.

Tasting profile

A modern white with a vibrant Sicilian character: fresh, lively, clean and juicy, with mineral notes and a pleasing texture.

Serving and pairing

Suited to a summer aperitif or a seafood dinner.
