In the glass
Aroma: almond blossom, lemon, white peach, fennel
Palate: citrus, light stone fruit, clean herbal, fresh finish
Mandrarossa's varietal Catarratto is the most characteristically Sicilian of the range: Sicily's most widely planted white variety in its simplest, freshest expression from Menfi's coastal estate.
What it pairs with
-
Pasta con le acciughe
The wine's almond-herb freshness is the classic Sicilian match for anchovy pasta. -
Caprese salad
Light, crisp and fresh: a summer salad wine for daytime meals. -
Grilled sardines
Catarratto's clean acidity cleanses the oil from grilled whole sardines.
History
Mandrarossa produces Catarratto as an affordable expression of Sicily's most widely grown grape, demonstrating that careful winemaking from the cooperative's Menfi estates can produce a clean, characterful varietal Catarratto.
