'Aquilae Catarratto' Terre Siciliane IGP CVA Canicattì 2022

A truly surprising white, the Cataratto Terre Siciliane IGP Aquilae is a wine proposed by the Agrigento cooperative company CVA Viticultori Canicattì. This important pearl of Sicilian enology has given life to a wine project that has its roots in the peculiarities of the island territory. It did so by perfectly integrating traditional viticulture with technological innovations. This interesting label comes from the vinification of 100% Cataratto grapes, the fruit of vines grown on a medium-textured soil composed of silt and sand. After a careful harvest carried out in September, the Cataratto Terre Siciliane PGI Aquilae takes shape from meticulous work in the cellar, where the grapes undergo a fermentation process in steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine ages first in tanks for 3 months, then in glass for two months. The final product is a terroir white that has received several awards, not least the Gold at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. A savory, fresh and snappy label, for an enveloping wine, with a fascinating minerality and commendable persistence.
