Description: The Terre della Baronia is a unique terroir with its 9 areas and related sub-areas. The Garcitella area where we grow this selection of Catarratto Lucido offers a particularly suitable environment for enhancing the characteristics of this variety. Here the vines give life to bunches that give aromas of ripe tropical fruit rich in nuances, with greater verticality and an evident acidic backbone.
WORK IN THE CELLAR
In order to enhance the thiol-tropical expression of Catarratto, the grapes are pressed whole under nitrogen, completing the entire production cycle up to bottling in total shelter from oxygen. This is achieved by saturating the tanks and carrying out the decanting under counter pressure with nitrogen. SENSORY NOTES Of a beautiful intense straw yellow color with green reflections. On the nose evident notes of white fruit, ripe pear and white melon, it closes with a complex finish where an aromatic vegetable spiciness emerges that is very reminiscent of lemon balm. On the palate it shows an important structure, enhanced by a nice acidic note that supports the gustatory persistence.
