WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lunatico Catarratto is produced using 100% Catarratto grapes. The viticulture is conducted according to organic principles, with careful selection of grape bunches during harvest. Fermentation is spontaneous, followed by aging in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This approach aims to preserve the natural character of the grape and the Sicilian terroir.
