Widespread throughout Sicily, Catarratto is an ancient native vine often used in blends with other white grape varieties. Vinified in purity, it turns out to be a frank wine, animated by glycerine consistencies. A characteristic white, with good body and balance with pleasant fruity and floral notes.
