Le mie Origini

Elegant Catarratto. Baked apples, a little bit of soaked apples and cider, honey and medicinal herbs. Charming, refreshing, great acidity (hey, it's Sicily), very long and evolving aftertaste. Flavours start with golden apples, change to baked apples and end with oil and honey.

Beautiful Catarratto from Alessandro Viola. The first sniff reminded me of his Blanc de Blancs, with these ripe apples and stone fruits. But then honey and candies come into play and very good acidity. And it's a completely different story. Perfectly balanced, flavours of yellow apples, and salty rocks. Love the long finish and overall parity of fruitness and minerality.
