About This Wine


Diversi dal Solito

Catarratto

Our Diversi dal Solito Catarratto invites you to step out of your comfort zone and sample something new. Enticing sweetness, combined with exotic fruit flavors and floral aromatics, make this wine a friendly introduction to an unfamiliar grape variety. Catarratto is indigenous to the island of Sicily. This crisp white grape is well known amongst the locals where it is commonly found on the dinner table alongside Sicilian delicacies featuring the island’s specialty — freshly caught seafood. Vineyards here benefit from a Mediterranean climate with ample sunshine and moderate rainfall. Cooling breezes from the Mediterranean and Tyrrhenian Seas mediate temperatures and keep vineyard conditions dry. Our Sicilian winemaking partners come from a farming background, and they understand the importance of nurturing their crop from seed to harvest. This is evident in the playful and plump profile of our Catarratto wine, which results from perfectly ripe fruit and experienced winemaking.

Wine Region


Sicily / Sicilia

Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.
