Normanno Ciello Bianco 2021

This dry white is made from 100% certified organic Catarratto grapes. The producers, the Vesco family, believe in minimal intervention and as a result of only basic filtering some bottles have a small amount of very fine lees sediment in the bottom of the bottle which can make the wine cloudy. This is not a fault but results in greater flavour, texture and mouthfeel to the wine.

The vineyards this wine is grown in are in the sandy soils of Alcamo, west of Palermo, nearly 300m above sea level. It's made from the local variety Catarratto which, when ripe, is picked early in the day keep the acidity and freshness needed to make a bright and crunchy wine. It undergoes a short maceration on its skins which adds an extra depth of flavour and golden tinge to the colour.
