Buttery, rich and dense, this wine offers fragrant soapy notes of apricot preserves, almond paste and exotic fruit. This Catarratto-based wine has good staying power backed by alcohol and a creamy mouthfeel. Some 45% of the wine is fermented in oak barrel, which helps shape its thick density. 1 Note

This is a sweet, floral-smelling sparkling wine made with the indigenous Catarratto grape of Sicily. Frizzante wines show tonic effervescence with softer, less intense effervescence along the lines of Prosecco. 1 Note

This tonic white wine (made with native Catarratto grapes from Sicily) offers personality and charm in the form of floral aromas of peach or citrus blossom. There’s a drying mineral note as well and the wine drinks very easily thanks to its natural crispness. 1 Note

Generous tones of banana, mature pear and stone fruit shape a fragrant and broad white wine from Sicily (made with Catarratto grapes). The wine’s flat texture is a bit fat and thick in the mouth. 1 Note

If you’ve forgotten the flavors of this once super-popular fortified wine from Sicily, it’s time to repay a visit to Marsala. Florio’s Dry version offers fragrant notes of caramel, candied fruit, maple syrup and citrus peel over a creamy texture. Marsala is often used as a cooking aid, butforget that: try it as an apéritif wine with cubes of Gorgonzola or Roquefort cheese. 1 Note

Candied fruit and caramel ride on the back of maple syrup, allspice and ground ginger. Marsala is for much more than cooking and you can try this wine with aged cheese or as an after-dinner drink. 1 Note
