Producer
Made from 100% hand-harvested Carricante grown 400 metres above sea level. Fermentation at low temperatures emphasizes this wine’s fruity profile of peach, nectarine and melon. Bright acidity provides mouth-watering appeal as impressions of lemon and lime linger on the finish. The cheerful label portrays the San Giorgio Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site monument, in the nearby town of Modica. 2023-2024–LW
Cortese Nostru Catarratto-Lucido IGP Terre Siciliane Organic Wine
The high-quality clone Catarratto-Lucido is one of three versions of this unique Sicilian variety. The Cortese example is a refreshing pour with aromas of lemon, lime and green apple that pull through to the core. The fruit is complemented by a hint of white pepper, which leads to a tangy, mineral-driven finish. 2023-2025–LW
