Terre Siciliane IGT Cataratto - Francesco Guccione 

Terre Siciliane IGT Catarratto by Francesco Guccione is a wine that embodies the essence of Sicilian vineyards, thanks to its production which follows the principles of biodynamic agriculture. Spontaneous vinification and refinement in steel tanks give this wine a freshness and purity that enhance the typical characteristics of Catarratto. Its golden yellow color is an invitation to explore a complex and elegant aromatic bouquet, where aromas of yellow pulp fruit and delicate citrus scents intertwine. On the palate, it has a good structure, accompanied by a softness that makes every sip enveloping. The excellent acidity perfectly balances the taste, contributing to a persistent finish that leaves a pleasant memory. This wine is an authentic expression of the Sicilian territory and, with its distinctive character and marked personality, it is able to surprise even the most demanding palates, making it an excellent choice to accompany fish dishes, fresh appetizers or simply to be enjoyed by alone.

Service

We taste the Catarratto by Guccione at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip goblets. Wines to be smoked immediately but mashed in the cellar a few years can give you great emotions.

Pairing

It blends perfectly with first and second fish, to try with spaghetti to clams with courgette flowers.
