Catarratto Lucido - Il Suolo - Augustali 2022

In the heart of Sicily's winemaking region, the Augustali winery stands out for its production of authentic wines that are deeply connected to the territory. Among these, the Catarratto Lucido "Il Suolo" shines, a white wine that celebrates one of the island's most cherished indigenous varieties. This wine pays homage to the purity of the grape and the richness of the terroir in which it is cultivated.

Catarratto Lucido "Il Suolo" presents a luminous straw yellow color that hints at its olfactory and gustatory qualities. On the nose, it offers a delicate yet complex bouquet with notes of white flowers, green apple, and a faint trace of fresh almond, typical of this variety. Careful cultivation and manual harvesting contribute to preserving the aromatic integrity of the grapes.

On the palate, this wine reveals a balanced and fresh structure. The well-integrated acidity supports a flavor profile that mirrors the fresh and mineral olfactory sensations. Citrus elements blend with a slight salinity, making Catarratto Lucido particularly suitable for pairing with seafood and fish dishes, but also as a stimulating aperitif.

Elevated in stainless steel to maintain all the freshness and varietal characteristics, this wine leverages modern winemaking techniques while remaining true to its chalky and mineral-rich soil. An excellent representative of Sicily's new winemaking era, Catarratto Lucido "Il Suolo" by Augustali is a magnificent choice for those who wish to discover the essence of island viticulture through a glass of pure and inviting wine.
