Log in / Sign up Alessandro di Camporeale Benede Catarratto 2021
The Alessandro family have 35 hectares of vineyards in and around Camporeale in North West Sicily, 400 meters above sea level. It is in this fertile clay and limestone-based soil that the family has cultivated native grape varieties, such as Catarratto and Grillo. All work in the vineyard is done by hand, following organic farming principles.
Entrancing and persuasive in its aromatic allure, Benedè emerges as a distinguished white wine crafted from the venerable Catarratto grapes—a variety deeply rooted in Sicily's viticultural heritage, now standing proudly as one of the island's foremost contributors to its acclaimed array of white wines.
Pairs extremely well with seafood appetizers, grilled prawns and scampi.
The Benedè Catarratto 2021 is fresh with perfumed notes of almond and apricot. It also has mineral overtones with fine acid. It is smooth, full of flavor and balanced. Gentle and fragrant nuances of almond, white peach, orange blossom and citrus emerge, composing a refined and inviting bouquet.
Freshness, volume, and elegance are the salient characteristics of this broad and pleasantly complex wine, with uncommon qualities of liveliness and persistence.
