Description
The Wine:
This fresh and full-flavoured Catarratto is unfiltered and beautifully fragrant with aromas of white florals, grape juice and spices. Lovely texture on the palate, with fresh pink grapefruit and green apple, as well as a slight spicy minerality, to brighten the fuller body. Approachable and easy going.
Organically grown grapes are manually harvested, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for a period of 15-20 days. The wine is then aged in stainless steels tanks for 6 months without malolactic fermentation. Bottled without fining or filtration and with minimal use of sulphur.
The Maker:
The Rallo winery has a history stretching back more than a hundred years in the Trapani area of Western Sicily. Founded in 1860 by Don Diego Rallo, the winery spent much of its history focused on producing Marsala-style wines. With the waning popularity of Marsala, the original winery was forced to close in the late 1980s. Fortunately, in 1997, the Vesco family stepped in and restarted operations, focusing on producing dry, unfortified wines. Since then, Rallo has gone from strength to strength – achieving organic certification in 2007 and concentrating on producing terroir-specific wines from indigenous varieties.
Food Pairing:
Fresh and incredibly approachable, this wine is a must on warm summer nights with a bowl of linguini marinara.
Perfect for seafood dishes like grilled squid, simple salads, and prosciutto!
