SALITANO - a pure Catarratto, DOC SALAPARUTA
DRY
Born from the clay-limestone soils, SALITANO is our tribute to the raw elegance of Sicilian nature. It speaks with minerality, whispers citrus, and closes with a hint of
sea salt — like a breeze arriving from the Mediterranean.
This is more than a wine: it’s a breath among wild vines, a story of resilience.
Authentic. Vertical. Uncompromising.
VARIETY GRAPES: Catarratto 100%
DENOMINATION: SALAPARUTA DOC
STYLE: Dry
PRODUCTION ZONE: south-west Sicily, Santo Menna estate
CELLARING: Enjoy now until 2029
VINEYARD: Altitude: from 390 to 420 m a.s.l.; 14% slope, hilly terrain. Soils are clay-limestone, rich in nutrients (potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese). Mild and humid winters; dry, breezy summers with strong diurnal temperature variations.
VINTAGE: A balanced year: dry spring with regular flowering, followed by a warm but not extreme summer. The wide day-night temperature swings in July and August enhanced both aromatic richness and freshness of the grapes.
WINEMAKING: The fruit is individually handpicked and whole bunch pressed to ensure purity and concentration of flavors. Fermentation occurs in stainless-steel tanks. Once vinification is finished, the wines are aged in small stainless-steel vats for 3 months before being bottled.
TASTING NOTES: Straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose is fresh and
direct: lime, grapefruit, wild fennel, and broom blossom. On the palate, it’s tense, saline, and vertical, with a long, citrusy finish. Excellent harmony between nose
and mouth.
FIRST VINTAGE: 2023
