Fragrant and delicate. A white varietal Catarratto, which gets its strength from its sapidity and its discreet aroma. The harvest takes place during the first ten days of September with manual harvesting to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Maceration and soft pressing are rigorously carried out at a cold temperature (4°C). The Mont’elimo line Catarratto of Casa Vinicola Fazio originates from the autochthonous white grape variety that best identifies the history of Sicily. A fresh wine and very representative of an island with thousands of different facets. Denomination: DOC SICILIA
