Cantine Polvanera Fuso Cala Terre Siciliane Bianco 2022
FUSO is Cantine Polvanera's project to search for and bottle Italy’s natural and characterful daily drinkers. The work with farmers and producer friends who are committed to organic viticulture, low-intervention, and terroir-driven wines.
FUSO requirements:
• Delicious and terroir-driven
• Made by farmers (not tank-farms)
• Certified organic or practicing organic wineries in conversion
• Native grapes
• Native yeasts
• Low sulphur (45 mg/l or less of added SO2)
• Unfiltered or slightly filtered
• Dry farmed
This wine shows a delicious palate of fresh melon and zesty, woodsy citrus, with an expansive, luxuriously salty finish.
Dario Serrentino makes this deliciously versatile wine from a specific clone known as Catarratto Extra Lucido (“extra shiny!”) due to the grapes’ distinct luster. The resulting wines show richer texture, color, and complexity than traditional Sicilian Catarratto.
Although technically an orange wine, this wine’s super-short maceration (a mere 50 hours) leaves the wine free of the tannins that turn many away from the style. Instead, this wine shows a delicious palate of fresh melon and zesty, woodsy citrus, with an expansive, luxuriously salty finish
