Region: Sicily 

Variety: Catarratto  

What's in the glass: This Catarratto comes from the ‘Masso’ cru, which is one of the highest vineyards on the Feudo Montoni Estate at 700m and named because of its rocky-sandy soil. The vines are aged between 55 and 60 years old but have been grafted onto very old bush vines producing fruit that’s dense and full flavoured. This iron rich soil contributes to a wine that is intensely fresh and mineral. After concrete fermentation, the wine is kept on lees for 6 months with some batonnage before being bottled.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a glimmer of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Intense pear and lime scents infused with fresh herbs are trailed by some Granny Smith apple, slate and mineral notes. Highly energised the palate features a racy flavour profile of lime, green apple and mandarin fruits infused with a mix of Mediterranean herbs, wet slate and saline characters. Crisp acidity. The long snappy finish laced with minerality.
