Catarratto
Catarratto is one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in Sicily, Italy. Traditionally used in the production of Marsala wine, it is also crafted into fresh, dry table wines. Known for its resilience to hot climates, Catarratto is often blended with other Sicilian grapes but is also increasingly vinified as a single varietal to showcase its character.
Flavor
Catarratto wines are generally light to medium-bodied, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and almond, along with herbal and floral notes. They have refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral edge, making them versatile and food-friendly.
Food Pairing
Catarratto pairs beautifully with seafood such as grilled fish, clams, and shrimp, as well as light pasta dishes, fresh cheeses, and vegetable-based antipasti.
