After 5 years of winemaking we finally came up with our expression of Catarratto grapes. Catarratto vines are the most cultivated in our Alcamo territory; Catarratto is, more than other grapes, the symbol of our town.
In the last 20 years we assisted to the ANNIHILATION of these grapes. Big wineries started to vinify it (for market) taking eveything away: thus no skin contact, pastorizing, massively filtering, obtaining a white paper colour idro-alcoholic drink, not a wine.
We decided to make a "cut with the past" (represented on the label by a Katana that cuts the grapes in two halves), doing the opposite to the big wineries.
Catarratto is a great grapes when you leave everything it has, and, as you know, the secret and power is in the skins!
The wine is thus of a deep orange color and with a very long aging potential. It is a dense and structured wine without neglecting elegance, rustic tannin reminiscent of the most authentic countryside.
At the taste has an excellent freshness and drinkability, with hints of spices and mature fruit. Perfect in combination with seasoned cheeses (e.g. caciocavallo) or very tasty and typical dishes of Mediterranean cuisine (pasta with sardines and fennel, anchovies etc.). It's a wine that farmers in the past used for themselves in packed lunches during work in the countryside, often combined with pecorino aged cheese or salted sardines.- Sicily, Italy
