2023 Mortellito, Terre Siciliane Bianco IGT, Calaiancu

90% Grillo and 10% Catarratto, meticulously crafted by Dario Serrentino with a philosophy of organic farming and minimal intervention. Hailing from Sicily's Val di Noto, the vineyards are defined by their unique limestone soils and proximity to the Ionian Sea, where intense sun and cooling maritime breezes cultivate a distinct profile. The 2023 vintage, characterized by an overall excellent quality despite initial warm, dry conditions mitigated by August rains, yielded healthy grapes with superb acid-sugar balance, contributing to the wine's vibrant and balanced character. Serrentino's commitment to spontaneous fermentation and stainless steel aging allows this white to precisely express its challenging coastal terroir. This results in an authentic Sicilian white wine renowned for its tension, freshness, and complex salinity, offering a pure representation of its origin.
