Info about the wine:<\/p>\n
The Cattaratto grapes come from 15 year old vines, grown on sandy loam, in western Sicily in the Trapani region.<\/p>\n
Removal Info:<\/p>\n
The grapes were harvested by hand at the beginning of September, gently pressed, the clear must fermented with wild yeasts at controlled temperature and with minimal addition of sulphur for 7 months in stainless steel tanks, on its own yeast.<\/p>\n
Color:<\/p>\n
Light golden yellow with pearly reflections.<\/p>\n
Nose:<\/p>\n
The 2023 Lucido presents itself with very interesting flavours. Distinct notes of fennel, sage, liquorice and aniseed mingle with fruity notes reminiscent of pear, grapefruit and lime zest. The whole is rounded off by a striking stony minerality.<\/p>\n
Palate:<\/p>\n
On the tongue, it is extremely refreshing, which is due to the fact that the citrus fruits of the nose are even more prominent here in combination with young pineapple and a stimulating acidity, a saline-like minerality and a fine tannic note. Stimulated by the salivation, one gets an appetite for an equally refreshing culinary accompaniment.<\/p>\n
