Description
Still white wine from Sicily, 13% ABV, 100% Catarratto Bianco Lucido. Produced by Augustali in the Bosco Falconeria area, between Alcamo and Partinico. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A Catarratto that expresses the richness of the Sicilian terroir, with floral notes of orange blossom and citrus notes such as lemon peel; hints of herbaceous and tropical fruit. The Augustali winery is located in Sicily between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo, in the center of the Gulf of Castellammare, in the most fertile part of Bosco Falconeria between Alcamo and Partinico, an area so dear to Frederick II of Swabia. The family's vineyards and olive groves extend over twelve hectares in the gentle hilly landscape that slopes towards the sea, once known as the "garden" due to its fertile and evocative land. Excellent flavor with pronounced mineral sensations; it gives the palate good persistence and freshness.
