Rallo Azienda Agricola Vicoletto Catarratto
A vibrant, hazy orange wine with expressive citrus, crisp apple, and Mediterranean herb notes, perfect with pasta
Rallo Azienda Agricola Vicoletto Catarratto Sicily IGP, Italy, is a vibrant, slightly hazy orange still wine crafted from Catarratto grapes with a minimal-intervention, natural approach. Certified organic, vegan, and vegetarian, it undergoes skin-contact fermentation with indigenous yeasts, bottled unfiltered and unfined with minimal sulphur. On the nose, it offers an expressive bouquet of citrus, grapefruit, and crisp apple, leading to a palate where these bright, fruity notes are elegantly balanced by hints of Mediterranean herbs and a lively fresh acidity. This dry wine pairs beautifully with Sicilian pasta dishes or chickpea fritters.

Vinification
The grapes are gently pressed, with 90% of the juice fermented off the skins in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 10% undergoes skin-contact fermentation for 12 days. Both components ferment naturally using indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the skin-contact portion is blended back in, and the final wine is bottled unfiltered, unfined, and without stabilisation or added sulphur.
