Discover the grape variety: Catarratto bianco lucido
Lively, fruity whites with a pale golden robe, an airy palate with more pronounced acidity than Catarratto Comune, and signature aromas of citrus (lemon, citron), white flowers and Mediterranean notes. Used as a single varietal or in blends, it is the base of many Sicilia DOC whites and traditional Marsala DOC. A variation of the indigenous Sicilian Catarratto with tighter clusters and shiny berries.

Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Astringency
Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
