town of Vita in the province of Trapani.
Winemaking: 70% pressed off the skins and fermented in stainless steel with native yeast at
controlled temperature. 20% fermented in French oak barrel at uncontrolled temperature. Final
10% fermented in stainless steel with maceration of skins for 7 days. Each parcel was blended to
create the fi nal wine, bottled unfi ltered and with minimum sulphites.
This is the fi rst vintage of our Borgoleo Catarratto. We wanted to show the fi ne qualities of this
native variety: fl oral and crisp, with ripe aromas of pear, red apple and quince lifted by notes of
lemon peel and orange blossom. Hints of sweet spice and skin contact aromas show complexity
and fi nesse.
Production: 852 bottles.
