Alessandro di Camporeale Cataratto Vigna di Mandranova 2018
In the most ancient vineyards of the estate, on the hill overlooking Mandranova plain, Catarratto reveals its full potential in one of its highest expressions. Masterly mix between the potential of grape variety and peculiarities of territory, Catarratto Vigna di Mandranova is an elegant wine, to be uncorked in special moments. Seductive and harmonious in its fruity and floral bouquet, it will pleasantly surprise you with its spicy and mineral ending.

Colour

Straw yellow with bright green reflections.

Bouquet

The fruity and floral bouquet, with hints of white flowers, lemon peel and green apple is complemented by a spicy and mineral finish, in which emerge notes of white pepper and flint.

Flavour

Despite the large entrance and the remarkable structure, the high acidity makes it extremely balanced and upright striking in its persistence.

Pairing

Incomparable with spaghetti ai ricci di mare (sea urchins).
