DESCRIPTION

“Telling the peasant past of a Sicily of other times…”

From Catarratto grapes macerated for a long time on the skins, we obtain a wine that brings us back to the memory of the Marsala farmers of the past, to the Sicily of our grandparents. The prolonged maceration on the skins allows the extraction of tannins from the grapes, obtaining a wine with character.

“Macerato Catarratto” is a wine with very low sulphitation (13mg/L), which is obtained exclusively and naturally during the fermentation of the must… it is our wine of memory, or even better the wine of our memory, that wine that was once produced in the countryside by the Marsala farmers declined today in a more evolved version. Tradition and innovation blend together in a glass of wine that tells the ancient and intense relationship between the winemaker and his land, a wine that looks at the peasant past of a Sicily of other times with the eyes of the present!

Versatile in pairings at a temperature of 12-14° “Macerato Catarratto” can be paired with fatty fish dishes (e.g. Red Tuna), while at a temperature of 16°-18° it can worthily accompany meat-based dishes such as roast kid, qualeddu and pasqualora sausage and all dishes in general of the Sicilian culinary tradition.”
