Catarratto
One of Sicily’s most planted white grapes, Catarratto yields wines of golden hue and ripe citrus character. Green apple, lemon zest, and delicate floral notes define its youthful expression, while extended aging can reveal nutty, honeyed complexities. Often blended in Marsala production, it also produces crisp, mineral-driven wines when grown at higher altitudes. Naturally high in acidity, it offers a refreshing, food-friendly profile, particularly suited to seafood and Mediterranean cuisine. Once overlooked, careful vinification has elevated Catarratto’s reputation, revealing a grape capable of both easygoing charm and serious depth.
