"“​​The 2022 Catarratto C Contrada Valle displays a pleasant richness, blending sweet smoke with raw almonds and pear. It splashes across the palate, revealing a pretty inner sweetness and citrus-tinged orchard fruits that add an almost crunchy sensation toward the close. There's a lingering tension, and sour citrus nuances keep the mouth watering as sweet herbal tones resonate.”"
