Baroni Di Pianogrillo Catarratto Lucido presents itself to the connoisseur wonderfully dry. This white wine never appears coarse or lean, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp and fleshy. The finish of this white wine from the wine-growing region of Sicily, more precisely from Sicilia DOC, ultimately delights with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of Catarratto Lucido by Baroni Di Pianogrillo

The basis for the balanced Catarratto Lucido from Italy is grapes of the Catarratto variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. After the grape harvest, the grapes are swiftly taken to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
