Description
Description
Bright straw-yellow in colour, Akrille's Catarratto presents delicate aromas of orange blossom, citrus, white peach and fresh apricot. On the palate it is pleasantly dry, with a fresh acidity and a mineral finish.
Catarratto is an ancient Sicilian grape variety that was almost forgotten for many years and is only now regaining importance. It produces wines that are elegant and rather subtle in aroma. Akrille's Catarratto is produced from 100% Catarratto grapes selected in the vineyard and aged for six months in steel.
We recommend pairing it with fish dishes or white meats, or serving alongside mild, soft cheeses.

The Cutrera family (from whom we also source exceptional extra virgin olive oils) and Bastianich family, with a history of friendship and collaboration spanning more than 30 years, come together to produce Akrille - a superb selection of sicilian wines.
Their vineyards, which are organically farmed, are located in the Iblei Mountains, alongside centuries-old olive trees. Their history in this area dates back to the late 19th century when the Cutrera family owned one of the most important wine-presses in the area. Akrille cultivate vineyards at an altitude of 500-600 metres where a wild and stony volcanic terrain, that had not been previously cultivated, provides a unique climate gives Akrille's wines freshness, flavour and an imimitable identity.
