Catarratto Terre di Sicilia Igp Bio 2022 - Dei Principi di Spadafora

Catarratto organic wine - 2022 IGP White Wine Sicilian Lands - Az. Agricola Spadafora The Spadafora Agricultural Company is located in the municipality of Monreale, a few kilometers from Palermo, in the Virzì district. It boasts over 100 hectares of vineyards, distributed over an area heated by the hot Sicilian sun and crossed by the fresh wind. Francesco Spadafora, son of Don Pietro dei Principi di Spadafora, founder of the farm, is dedicated to it with passion, who is committed to the revaluation of native and allochthonous vineyards destined for the birth of quality wines. According to the company's philosophy, all the production takes place in their lands and the harvested grapes are transformed immediately, so as to preserve their quality to the maximum. From Catarratto grapes comes a savory, fresh and light white wine, but with character. Its name recalls the Spanish origins of the Spadafora family; it is the most produced wine and is produced with a commitment equal to that which the company puts into the production of more expensive wines. The straw yellow colour, the scent of white fruit, the savory and fresh taste make it a simple and linear wine, which should be drunk within two years, to be combined with fish first courses and seafood appetizers. It should be served very cool in order to enhance its immediate drinkability. PHYSICAL AND ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: Colour: light straw yellow with greenish reflections.
