2020 Longarico Nostrale Vino Bianco (Cataratto), Sicily, IT

100% Catarratto from Longarico's few hectares of organically farmed vines in Sicily. The vineyard has an altitude of 350 meters and calcareous-clay soils. Hand harvesting, destemming and soft pressing of the grapes into stainless steel tanks where they ferment with indigenous yeasts. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation and ages on the lees in tank for about 7 months. Bottling without fining or filtering, then goes through a further 3 months of aging in bottle.
