CHARDONNAY CATARRATTO
TERRE SICILIANE BIANCO
IGT
This blend of Chardonnay and Catarratto is a promise of lightness and liveliness, and is named after one of the natural elements (“vento”, meaning “wind”) that characterise our wines. The sea breeze that caresses the Ramaddini vineyards bears the face of Aeolus, depicted on the label with curved lines in motion.
It has a striking and elegant golden yellow colour, and envelops the senses with a fruity scent and exotic hints. To the palate, it strikes an excellent balance between freshness and softness and has a refined aromatic persistence.
Its fresh and full-bodied flavour caresses the senses much as the wind does our sunny land.
