Maugeri Catarratto 2025

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant. Located in Sicily, on the slopes of Mount Etna, in the village of Milo, the Maugeri winery owns approximately 7 hectares of replanted bush-trained vineyards between Contrada Praino and Contrada Volpare. In this area known for its white winemaking tradition, the company, managed by Renato and his daughters Carla, Michela, and Paola, produces a range of IGT wines in addition to Etna Bianco Superiore and Etna Rosato. Their excellent wines exude a strong respect for the terroir and the local winemaking traditions. The Catarratto grapes are sourced from an organically farmed terraced vineyard located in the Volpare-Milo district, approximately 700 meters above sea level, on the eastern slope of Mount Etna. Here, the vines, traditionally trained as bush vines, are rooted in sandy, mineral-rich volcanic soil and enjoy a northern exposure. After manual harvesting and fermentation in stainless steel, the wine ages on the lees for approximately four months before bottling. In the glass, the wine reveals a luminous straw-yellow color. Its aromatic profile releases notes of citrus and white fruit, with floral and aromatic herbal notes. On the palate, the wine displays an elegant and delicate character with a distinctive saline touch. It is fresh, lively, and mineral with a long, persistent finish. It pairs deliciously with seafood, grilled fish, and fish soups.
