Producer | Longarico
Region | Sicily
Variety | Catarratto
Alcohol | 12%
From vines planted in 2003 at 350 meters above sea level, rooted in clay limestone soils. Cultivated using the espalier system with Guyot pruning, producing low yields of around 70 q.li/ha. After a soft pressing, fermented and aged on the lees for 8 months in stainless steel, bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfites (20 mg/L). A pure and expressive Catarratto. Fresh citrus and white peach on the nose, lifted by floral hints and a subtle saline edge. On the palate, it’s crisp and vibrant, with a textured mid-palate from time on the lees, finishing clean and mineral.
