Notes
A blend of Catarratto (providing rich texture and a savory, salty backbone) Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (adding nuttiness plus notes of pear, lychee and apple) from organically farmed vines in Sicily’s Madonie Park. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with wild yeasts and macerated with the skins for a couple of hours. Bottled unfined, unfiltered with a touch of SO2.
