100% Catarratto, from Alessandro’s highest-reaching, limestone-rich vineyard of Giardinazzo - this is some killer lo-fi fizz! Vinified in the metodo classico fashion, the wine’s initial fermentation takes place mainly in stainless tanks, with a small percentage diverted to older oak barrels, lending a touch of roundness and depth to what is an inherently racy bottle. Secondary fermentation in bottle is followed by just shy of two years spent slowly coaxing additional layers of complexity through time spent resting on lees. No dosage here, with Alessandro preferring a blank slate upon which to express the energy of his little corner of Sicily resulting in a wine redolent of bitter almonds, pine needles, soft and aromatic green herbs, and just-ripe white peaches. On the palate, a super fine and wonderfully serious mouthful carries waves of wild fennel, bee pollen and salt into a bone dry pucker.
