The Catarratto di Porta del Vento is produced from fifty-year-old plants of 100% white Catarratto, cultivated as a sapling (the best form of farming for an extremely windy area like this one of the hilly slopes of Camporeale) on sandy soils at 600 metres above sea level. Marco Sferlazzo has been conducting strict biodynamic viticulture for years to maintain the balance of the earth and increase biodiversity. The grapes are harvested in September; the vinification takes place without the aid of any addition, after which the wine is aged in concrete tanks for about 6 months.

PORTA DEL VENTO CATARRATTO: TASTING

The Catarratto di Porta del Vento has a straw yellow colour with golden hues; the nose is extremely territorial and broad: orange blossom, wildflowers, chamomile, wild herbs, citrus fruits, touches of brackish minerality. On the palate, it is very fresh and severe, tasty and structured, very long. Very good with mullet ceviche, or with octopus in galera.
