Catarratto: the authentic identity of Sicily in the glass
The Catarratto collection gathers labels that tell the story of one of the most representative white grape varieties of Sicily, capable of expressing freshness, balance, and an always interesting territorial interpretation. In this selection, you will find wines that interpret Catarratto in a modern and territorial key, with references to the most suitable areas of Etna and western Sicily.
Character, style, and territory
Catarratto is traditionally associated with white wines that have an immediate yet not trivial profile, where notes of white fruit, citrus, and floral sensations combine with a pleasant sapidity. Depending on the area of origin and the production style, it can offer wines that are more slender and vertical or more structured, with greater aromatic complexity. The presence of labels linked to Etna further enhances the mineral dimension and the connection to a unique territory.
The wineries featured in the selection
Among the names in the collection, producers who work with great attention to the territory stand out, such as Cusumano, Graci, Palmento Costanzo, and Pellegrino 1880. Their interpretations show how Catarratto can interact with different soils, altitudes, and microclimates, always maintaining a strong Sicilian imprint.
Labels to discover in the collection
The selection includes wines such as BIANCO DI SEI DOC 2019, BIOsfera Catarratto BIO Terre Siciliane IGP, Alta Mora Etna bianco DOC 2020, Palmento Costanzo Etna Bianco Contrada Cavaliere 2021, and Etna Bianco 2022 DOC Graci. These labels help to read Catarratto through different nuances, from the more immediate and organic styles to the more identity-driven versions linked to volcanic vineyards.
Recommended pairings
Thanks to its freshness, Catarratto is ideal with seafood appetizers, raw fish, delicate first courses, seasonal vegetables, and fresh cheeses.

It is a versatile choice for those looking for a white wine that can naturally accompany informal moments and more refined tables.
