Winemaking: Organic Catarratto grapes were hand harvested and pressed directly. Fermented with indigenous yeast in concrete tanks. No filtration or fining. Small amount of sulphur on bottling.
This Wine: Natural white wine that represents a new cuvée from Nino. The signature Barraco salinity is presented alongside citrus and stone fruit with a touch of that cereal note that this grape variety often expresses. Great precision and a long finish. A bargain at this price and would work very well with seafood.
