Catarratto Naturalmente Bio Sicily DOC 2020

Description

Caruso & Minini is a joint venture between two families and two different stories that merge when Stefano Caruso, the third generation of winemakers, meets Mario Minini, owner of a marketing company in Northern Italy. Together, back in 2004, built the foundations of Caruso & Minini, a state of the art winery in Marsala, a city at the extreme part of western Sicily.

Today Stefano is flanked by his two daughters Giovanna and Rosanna who are actively taking part in the daily work at the winery. Management in pink that has brought a breath of freshness among the barrels.

The family were early pioneers of instigating organic practices and now own two significant vineyards in Giumarella and Cutaja covering a total of 120 hectares located in the inland Trapani province. The highest hills, dedicated to the cultivation of the whites varieties, reach an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, whereas the valley bottom is where the red varieties grow. Every single grapevine was planted following the best combination of exposure, soil and climate.

Catarratto is a widely planted native grape which, in the right conditions, produces textured wines with lemony hints. This organic example is beautifully, fresh and clean with an elegant and balanced fragrance that ends in a mineral and long finish.

Great with pasta, white meat and vegetarian dishes.
