Vinification of the Catarratto Lucido from Baroni Di Pianogrillo

The basis for the balanced Catarratto Lucido from Italy is grapes from the Catarratto grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into clay and limestone soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
