Catarratto extra lucido / IGP Terre Siciliane / organic farming / CSQA certification
At the foot of Mount Bonifato, with a north/north-west exposure, we have a small vineyard of Catarratto extra lucido. Its position is privileged because it stands above an extensive travertine bank of extraordinary importance for the geological reconstruction of this part of Sicily. In fact, it preserves millennia of history, evidenced by very important fossil remains.
Such a rich soil gives back to the grapes a highly complex mineral profile that seemed particularly ideal to us for a sparkling wine base.
