Catarratto Lucido I.G.P. ‘Eughenes’ 75cl (2023) SIBILIANA VINI

Catarratto is native to the island of Sicily where it is the most widely planted varietal, and the 4th most widely grown grape varietal in Italy – the varietal actually makes up 34% of the total grape vineyard area in Sicily alone! Catarratto exists as 2 types – Catarratto Bianco Comune and Catarratto Bianco Lucido where they are distinguished from one another by the presence or absence of a white bloom on the skin of the grapes as they mature. While predominately used as a blending grape Catarratto can produce full flavoured wines with layered citrus characters. Eughenès is the historic brand of Cantine Europa and has always distinguished its best wines, wines with a unique, distinguishable and authentic character, sincere interpretations of the company's values. This wine presents a straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections plus a delicate bouquet, caressed by notes of flowers such as iris, fruit and a hint of citrus. The finish has a palatable minerality making it best paired with fish, shellfish and white meat dishes.
