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. Exotic fruit flavors and enticing floral aromas make this wine a friendly introduction to an unfamiliar grape variety. Catarratto is native to the island of Sicily. This crisp white wine is well known amongst the locals and commonly found on the dinner table alongside 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 keep vineyard conditions cool and dry. Our Sicilian winemaking partners come from a farming background, nurturing their crops 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.
