2022 Il Censo, Terre Siciliane, Praruar

Il Censo is a family-owned estate located in the mountains near Palazzo Adriano, where the Gargano family has been connected to the land for over 200 years. This wine is made from Catarratto grapes grown organically in clay-limestone soils at an elevation of 1,900 feet. In the glass, it displays a distinct amber hue with savory notes of apricot skin, dried herbs, and a firm, mineral-driven structure. The 2022 vintage provided stable conditions that allowed for a focused, balanced expression of this high-altitude fruit. It is ready to enjoy now, offering an approachable yet complex profile that benefits from a brief period of air before serving.
