Vurgo di Viteadovest is a blend of 80% Catarratto and 20% Grillo, coming from the first inland area of Marsala, 100 meters above sea level. The vines have an average age of 40 years and are traditionally trained with the Alberello method. The grapes, hand-harvested in the first decade of September, are fermented in steel tanks with 2 days of skin maceration, then undergo spontaneous fermentation with their indigenous yeasts (pressed with a vertical hydraulic press). During the 7-month aging period, the wine rests on the lees until bottling without undergoing any clarifications or filtrations.

VURGO CATARRATTO E GRILLO VITEADOVEST: TASTING NOTES

Vurgo di Viteadovest appears in the glass with a straw yellow color and golden reflections. On the nose, it is intense and territorial: jasmine, prickly pear, caper flower, exotic fruits, flat peach, citrus, Mediterranean herbs, and sea salt. The palate is lively, fresh, and briny. Excellent with vitel tonné, or for a more traditional pairing, with caponata or seafood couscous.
