Catarratto
All the richness o the Etna Terroir in Monaci delle Terre Nere wines
the Sicilian indigenous grape by antonomasia. The Catarratto is a white grape and the most cultivated in Sicily. When grown in the lava soils of Mt. Etna, however , it does not have the bitter aftertaste sometimes found in much of the Sicilian continent.
Mineral, dry and intense aromas characterize this wine. We are sure that you will be won over by the pleasure of drinking this delicious white. It is a Sicilian classic that is taken to new heights by the soil of Mt Etna
