Donnafugata
Anthìlia Sicilia Catarratto
Sicily, Italy
Pale lemon in color with a yellow tint.
Gorgeous nose of white flowers, tropical fruits, kiwis, pineapples, lemons, grapefruits, minerals, green beans, green vegetables, oak, light vanilla, honeydew and white pepper.
Light to medium bodied, with medium plus acidity, crisp and engaging.
Tart on the attack, and dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, minerals, bitter almonds, green apples, vegetables, herbs, grass and white pepper.
Medium finish with almonds.
A nice white blend from Southern Italy. I loved the nose here, while the palate did not reflect the nose at all. Unbalanced, but a good food wine that will pair nicely with seafood and light chicken dishes.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Light straw in color, crisp green-apple and pear tones. Great summer drinking.

Stony grapefruit lemon nose, picking up some tart pear on the palate. Super fresh and ripe citrus with a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long spicy finish. Cataratto and tons of other grapes no one outside of Sicily has ever heard of. Loving it!

Molto dolce e fruttato...si fa bere e va giù che è un piacere!

The work horse white of Siciila - Catarratto - nice pear flavors and brash acidity, no real minerality, good for veggies and fruit, nothing overly special, but a great weeknight wine and at this price point, you (Donna)fugata be kidding me #qprcity
