Marco de Bartoli 'Lucido' Catarratto 2022
$49
100% Catarratto from Marsala. Marco is a legend of Marsala, making wines that bely the belief that wines from Western Sicily are bulk wines of average quality.
Great aromas of lemon flesh, white grapefruit, hints of Mediterranean herbs and the undeniable smell of the salty sea. Whilst there is an pure, linear nature to the acid, it is not lean or tart with a juicy ripe citrus presence layering over the beautiful tense acid. Lingering on the finish is a moreish level of salinity, one reminiscent of Chablis but even more so. One to crack with this warm weather and dream of being seaside in Sicily. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
