Terre Siciliane Catarratto IGT 2021 Li Ciuri

Catarratto Li Ciuri is produced in the areas of western Sicily with Catarratto grapes.

Harvested between the months of August and September, the grapes are transferred to the cellar and carefully selected in order not to lose their aromatic fragrance. Soft pressing prepares them for fermentation at controlled temperatures. The wine is then stored in steel for ageing and preserved from any oxidative contact that would compromise its typical aromatic charge. Bottling follows for a subsequent phase of ageing in bottle.

It has a golden straw yellow colour and immediately releases to the nose floral aromas of jasmine and fruity citrus fruits, together with pleasantly herbaceous notes on the base such as mint and juniper. Decisive on the palate, it does not lack softness while maintaining a sapid and mineral charge that immediately emphasizes its touch and persistence.

Perfect in combination with shellfish-based aperitifs, it can accompany semi-mature cheeses, grilled fish and first courses such as seafood risotto.
