Description

Product description for Case Alte 12 Filari Catarratto DOC Sicilia 2022 (bio)

Wine Information

The Catarratto was planted in 1992 in sandy and stony clay soils up to an altitude of 500 meters. The grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning and transferred to the cellar in small 8 kg crates. The whole grapes were gently pressed a few hours after harvesting. After 24 hours, fermentation took place with selected yeasts at 15 °C, followed by aging for six months in stainless steel on the fine lees at 10 °C with weekly battonage.

Colour

Straw yellow with bright green reflections

Nose

The 12 filari Catarratto is a fine, mineral-inspired Sicilian wine, offering bright notes of chamomile and orange blossom, broom and hay, a hint of lemon, greengage, and maquis herbs.

Palate

On the palate, the wine impresses with its balance and pleasantly bright juiciness. There are plenty of citrus fruits and the associated freshness and tartness, along with more herbs and a hint of nuttiness. The finish is impressively long and persistent, salty and fresh with a fine extract.
