Gold-colored wine with a delicate combination of laurel and mint on the nose. These harmonious aromas are enhanced by slight hints of hawthorn and citrus fruit. A mineral white wine that is fresh and convincing. Its delicious acidity and juiciness ensure that you can enjoy a long aromatic intensity, where tasty fruit and freshness complete the charm.
Vinous - Antonio Galloni - Catarratto 2018 - 92/100
Medium deep straw yellow with golden tinges. Ripe aromas and flavors of apricot, balsamic oils, bergamot and guava. Round and tactile but also very fresh in the mouth with hints of orange oil complicating flavors of grapefruit and mountain herbs in the mouth. Finishes long, multilayered and dense. An outstanding Catarratto. Owner Fabio Sireci tells me these are old vines of the Catarratto Lucido variety, a rare situation as the grape produces very little at the heights these vines are planted (roughly 750 meters above sea level). Still, it smells and tastes of the Lucido variety and so I'm not arguing.
