Catarratto represents one of the oldest indigenous grape varieties in the Sicilian wine scene.
 Widespread throughout western Sicily, today this vine represents one of the prominent white grape varieties of the island.
 Persuasive and captivating in its aromas, almost “crunchy” in the mouth, highly drinkable, it is a traditional wine par excellence, a precious testimony of Catarratto, a grape grown on the island since the dawn of time.
