Donnafugata
Anthìlia Sicilia Catarratto
Sicily, Italy
Apple, lemon, quince, dried apricot, tangerine and blood orange. Racy acidity and great minerality.

The wine colors up as a light straw yellow in the glass. Its nose is quite fragrant, with explosive notes of peach and pear, white flowers and a nice touch of salinity. The palate is savory, with a strong streak of minerals draping the stone fruit flavors. The acidity is very brisk, which will make a nice pairing with seafood dishes, a Nicoise salad or creamy pasta.

Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Floral, crisp, light bodied yet substantial mouthfeel. Minimal tannins, hint of citrus zest - lime, lemon. Enjoyed the texture of this one. Slightly saline aftertaste

This delicious Sicilian Cataratto pulls you in close with a scented bouquet of fresh apricot, yellow flowers and lime zest. It envelops the palate with silky textures, offset by citrus-tinged orchard fruits. Hints of kiwi and papaya linger long, elegantly fading away. $16.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)

Primarily made with the native Cataratto grape, this Sicilian white features fresh and fruity aromas of yellow apple, peach, white flowers and a touch of lemon zest. Same fruits on the pallet. Hint of saline on the finish. Mild (but tangy) acidity helps this wine to be quite thirst quenching and refreshing. Straw gold color and lovely texture.
