Ajello Tajuni Catarratto

In the glass

Aroma: almond blossom, lemon, chamomile, white fruit

Palate: citrus, almond, herbal freshness, clean mineral

Ajello's organic Catarratto from the Belice Valley near Castelvetrano offers a light, mineral expression of the variety: almond-blossom, lemon and chamomile with the clean freshness of organically farmed western Sicilian vines.

What it pairs with

• Grilled fresh sardines
  The wine's almond and lemon freshness are the natural match for Sicilian coastal sardines.
• Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil
  Light and clean: a summer aperitivo white for tomato-basil bread.
• Fresh ricotta with herbs
  Delicate almond-floral notes pair with mild, fresh ricotta.
