Al-Cantàra “Ciuri di Strata” Sicilia Bianco DOC 2023 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Al-Cantàra Sicilian DOC, in name and in fact. We are talking about the Sicilia Bianco Ciuri di Strata, proposed here by Al-Cantìra. A fine white wine born on the northern slopes of Etna, in Randazzo, in an area rich in history and winemaking tradition. We are about 620 metres above sea level. Here the vineyards, in a privileged position, enjoy a unique microclimate, influenced by cool mountain breezes and strong temperature excursions between day and night. All this guarantees a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, preserving freshness and acidity. The volcanic soil also gives the grapes a unique savouriness and complexity. Pure Catarratto, the grapes come from vineyards with an average age of over 40 years. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain a clear, rich must. This is followed by fermentation, in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and an ageing period of about 6 months, also in stainless steel. In the glass, Ciuri di Strata shows a luminous straw yellow colour, enriched with delicate greenish reflections. The nose opens with elegant hints of citrus fruits, among which lemon stands out, accompanied by notes of passion fruit and subtle floral hints reminiscent of white flowers. In the mouth, it reveals itself to be fine and balanced, with good acidity that lends freshness and savouriness. The finish is persistent, leaving a sensation of cleanliness and lightness in the mouth. This Etnean white lends itself to pairings with light, delicate dishes. Ideal with seafood starters, grilled fish and salads. Its fine acidity also makes it an excellent companion for fresh cheeses and vegetarian dishes.
