Creamy, fresh, value.
Araldica is a third-generation, family-operated co-operative based in Piedmont. They work with over 230 Piedmont grower members and produce the high quality Piedmont wines from the most prestigious winegrowing regions but they also make wines in a number of other Italian regions, such as this one from Sicily.
Made entirely from Catarratto sourced from the Marsala area on the west coast of Sicily, and from hillside vineyards near Alcamo, this wine was bottled fresh, after a short period of aging on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks.
Aromas of wild flowers, pomelo, yellow apples and starfruit, acacia and honey lead to a palate that is dry and creamy. Lemon oil and mineral, lemon oil and resin flavours dominate; the finish is zesty.
A good bang-for-your-buck white.
