Sorrentino, Catalo Catalanesca 2020

"A unique and exciting wine that uses a fascinating rare grape variety. I like how this is rich and full of flavour while still being light and refreshing. Definitely a wine to try if you're looking for something different but equally enjoyable by anyone."

The Sorrentino family has been cultivating land on Mount Vesuvio’s southern slopes – just a few miles away from Pompei’s remains – for decades. In the early nineties, Paolo Sorrentino and his wife Angela expanded their vineyards to the current 35 hectares. Today they are helped by their new generation with siblings Benigna, Maria Paola, and Giuseppe all involved in the family winery. On certain sites they have decided to keep unique tomato varieties such as the Piennolo among the vine rows: a homage to the traditional so-called ‘promiscuous cultivation’ that once dominated the Italian viticultural landscape.

The Catalò is made with the Catalanesca variety grown at an altitude of 400 meters above the sea level. The Catalanesca grape was imported in Campania from Catalonia in 15th century, and today can only be found in small plots in the province of Naples.
