About the winery

Ferreri is a family winery in Gibellina, in the province of Trapani, western Sicily. It was founded in 2003 to carry forward the work of the founders' fathers, winemakers for fifty years. The estate sits at 290 m beside a nature reserve, halfway between the ancient Greek sites of Selinunte and Segesta.

"Le Sette Vigne" means "the seven vineyards": the winery's signature line, each wine a 100% single variety expressing one parcel of western Sicily.

What is Catarratto?

Catarratto is Sicily's most planted white grape, once known mainly as the base of Marsala. Today it is enjoying a well-deserved revival as a fresh, dry white: citrus, Mediterranean herbs and a gentle saline touch.

DOC Sicilia, created in 2011, is the island-wide appellation championing Sicily's native varieties.

Why choose this wine?

From the Contrada Buturro vineyard at 250 m in Santa Ninfa, on clay-limestone soils, vinified fresh in stainless steel. Beautifully balanced, never tiring, and a natural partner for seafood: the taste of Sicilian sunshine at an everyday price.

Tasting notes

Appearance

Fresh yellow with green highlights.

Nose

Fresh pear and grapefruit, with a whisper of Mediterranean herbs behind. The kind of nose that makes you breathe in slowly.

Palate

Fresh fruit first, then a gentle saline note chasing it. Acidity and fruit in fine balance, with a surprisingly long finish. An easy, uplifting dry white.

Food pairing

The producer's own suggestion: mussel gratin. Also lovely with carpaccio, grilled white fish, tempura and sushi, and seafood across the board.
