Catarratto extra lucido – classic method brut nature

Catarratto extra lucido / IGP Terre Siciliane / organic agriculture / CSQA certification

At the foot of Bonifato mountain, with a north/north west exposure, we have a small vineyard of extra shiny catarratto. Its position is privileged because it comes out of an extensive travertine bank of extraordinary importance for the geological reconstruction of this part of Sicily. It guards, in fact, thousands years of history, witnessed by very important fossil finds.
A soil so rich that brings back to the grape a mineral aspect quite complex that we found it particularly ideal for a sparkling base.
