Catarratto
The Catarratto is a white grape variety widely planted in Sicily, especially in the Trapani area, and take its name from its high yield. Although appreciated by the public, the Catarratto has recently seen a decrease in its production to the benefits of International varieties. However, a few wine makers have kept growing Catarratto and produced high quality wines by reducing its yield.
Catarratto grown in and around the town of Marsala is also used in the production of Marsala Oro and Ambra.

Cantine Rallo Vicoletto Catarratto 2023
Vicoletto is a relatively new project from Cantine Rallo based in Marsala on the western side of Sicily. The Catarratto grapes are grown organically in sandy soils high up in the hills of Alcamo. After hand harvesting, grapes are softly pressed and 90% is transferred to tank without skins for fermentation, while 10% is fermented on skins for a total of 12 days. Both elements undergo natural fermentation with wild yeasts. The 10% skin contact wine is then blended in, and the resulting wine is bottled without stabilisation, filtration, fining or added sulfur.
