Description

Product description for Vino Lauria FontaneBianche Alcamo Classico DOC 2021 (bio)

Wine Information

The name Fontane Bianche refers to the colour of the white, barren, calcareous soils where the Catarratto thrives best. A homeopathic 5% of Zibbibo, aka Moscatel d’Alexandrie, is delicately added to impart a touch of fragrance to the tart Catarratto with its distinctive character.

Vine Information

The grapes are pressed and macerated on the skins at a controlled temperature for 24 hours. Fermented spontaneously in steel tanks, the wine matures on the lees for six months before being released.

Colour

Brilliant golden yellow with coppery reflections.

Nose

The aroma is intense: vineyard peach, lemon zest, lemon biscuits, dried flowers, and a variety of wild herbs, plenty of sage, sorrel, and wild mint. Soy and dried biscuits, mussel shells, and algae already reveal a strong umami presence in the aroma.

Palate

The 2021 Fontanebianche from Vino Lauria is an extremely exciting wine in every respect: on the one hand, the tart impression, on the other, the delightful fruit and the extremely fresh acidity. Salty-sweet and gripping captures the overall impression quite precisely. The long finish makes you want much more of this wine, which really makes you wonder how such a spectacular price-value ratio is achievable.
