Mare Nostrum Vini Grecale Catarratto 2022

Tasting Notes

Made by Athenais Beru of Chateau de Beru in Chablis so you know right off the bat these will be good. If you've tried those... try these! Grecale is 100% Catarratto from 20 year old organically farmed vines at 480m on clay-limestone and sandy soils outside Palermo, hand harvested, direct pressed, fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel and aged for around 36 months on fine lees in tank. Named after the cold, dry northeast wind blowing in off Greece that sharpens freshness and precision across the Sicilian vineyards, this is precise yet layered with bright acidity, real mineral drive and a textured palate that captures both the place and Mare Nostrum Vini's Mediterranean, low-intervention ethos. - Pete L
