Aria
Catarratto Terre siciliane
Indicazione Geografica Protetta
bianco
Fresh and delicate, like the Tramontane that caresses our vineyards.
The grapes are hand-picked carefully selected, then delicately destemmed and crushed. The cooled and softly pressed must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 15-18°C. After 30-40 days of slow fermentation, the resulting wine is racked and kept on lees for at least a month to enhance its elegance and structure.
In steel for 6 months followed by at least 60 days’s bottle-ageing.
Among the green hills of Western Sicily, a few kilometres from the ancient Norman town of Monreale, the Di Lorenzo family has been cultivating Cataratto, white sicialian grape variety, where it has found here ideal soil and climate conditions. This golden yellow wine with greenish highlights is made from a careful selection of bunches of grapes. Aria is a fruity wine characterised by intense aromatic notes. The crispness and flavour on the palate, accompanied by lingering persistence, make this a captivating wine.
Important white with a strong taste, which pairs well with fish or white meat dishes.
