Caeles Cataratto is a wine that combines nature, respect for the territory, quality. After long years of observation and experimentation, Firriato found the ideal place for the breeding of Cataratto in the Borgo Guarini estate. The calcareous soils with the presence of clay are characterized by reduced fertility and humidity conditions. Even in the Catarratto vineyard, as well as throughout the agricultural estate, grassing is practiced based on spontaneous legume and cereal plants. The Caeles Cataratto certified organic wine is born from the combination of these pedoclimatic and cultural characteristics. Vivid example of wine produced according to biological process, it is characterized by herbaceous nuances and a well-articulated structure with the fruity tones of uncontaminated nature.
