ISOLANO organic Italian white wine 0.75 l - Valdibella

Catarratto Extra Lucido / Sicilia DOC / organic farming / ICEA certification

"It was Vincenzo Solano, my grandfather, who planted a small Catarratto Extra Lucido tree on the Parrino estate in the 1950s. Since then, with my family, we have continued the tradition and cultivated this vine in the highest part of the hill, where the earth is strong and the vineyard is fine even with little water. Next to the vineyard, then, we planted a small wood with 500 trees, so as to make the surrounding agro-ecosystem more stable and balanced ". Massimiliano Solano
