Augustali, Catarratto

Owned by the illustrious winemaker Vincenzo Bambina and his wife Finella Ammoscato, the Augustali farm extends over 9 hectares in the heart of Bosco Falconeria, an area particularly suited to viticulture, located between Alcamo and Partinico, very dear to Frederick II of Swabia . This particular context offers unique pedo-climatic conditions from which the highest quality grapes originate, maintained in the cellar and up to the glass, thanks to careful and conscious work. The interpretation of optimal but very different territorial characteristics has led to the creation of a product such as Contrasto, which is inspired by the poetic style of Ciullo d'Alacamo and in particular by the work Rosa fresco Aulentissima, to further strengthen the close link with Sicily.

It is one of the oldest white grape varieties grown in Sicily, where it is widespread in all the provinces with the two main clones: common catarratto and glossy catarratto. However, its territory of choice remains the Trapani area, where it reaches high quality levels. Vinified in purity, it gives wines with good structure, with intense and elegant citrus and fruity aromas. The good base acidity also favors its longevity with interesting aromatic evolutions.
