Description
The only Cru of Catarratto in Sicily. While the cru and grand cru systems only exist in France, “Shiarà” is by far the finest and most grand Catarratto in Sicily. Cultivated on 70-year-old vines and at 1,000 meters above sea level, Shiarà comes from the highest vineyards in Sicily. Made with extremely low yields of superior Catarratto grapes allowing the maximum concentration of flavors, aromatics, and complexity coalesce into one of the finest white wines in all of Italy. Hand-harvested with the most delicate methods, Shiarà is for the discerning palates of white wine aficionados and wine collectors. While the wine expresses its overwhelming beauty in its youth, 1-3 years, Shiarà has the ability to evolve in the bottle for up to 10 years without ever having been refined in wood. This is a grand achievement in winemaking that few people know about. Perfect as a gracious gift, an evening of reflection, and a fine seafood or summer dinner. Production: 9,000 bottles annual.
