Organic Catarratto Pinot Grigio

Terre Siciliane IGP

Provenance

The grapes are selected from some of the most characteristic and typical vineyards in the region of Sicily, which are particularly well suited to growing white grapes. Vine training is by traditional Spalliera system.

Grapes

60% Catarratto - 40% Pinot Grigio

Harvest

Pinot Grigio is picked in the first part of August, while Catarratto is picked in the second half of September. Both are hand-picked which allows us to select the grapes when at their optimum maturity, while retaining the grapes’ acidity.

Winemaking

After destemming, grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures not exceeding 18°C for approximately 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. After Catarratto’s fermentation is finished, the two wines are blended and kept on fine lees until the end of December.

Tasting notes

The combination of these two grapes creates an enjoyable, everyday drinking wine that offers intense aromas of both citrus and tropical fruit flavours.
