Krimiso Cataratto Aldo Viola (Orange Wine) 100% Cataratto, Natural wine of immense character, wild herbs and citrus characters: orange wine with subtly – approachable and fine. Although the maceration time with the skins for Krimiso runs into the months, the extraction is gentle, Aldo uses patience and time rather than mixing and pumping over to let the soft, delicate flavours of the Cataratto grapes and skin contact develop slowly. The wine is very fine in youth, taut and citrussy, with notes of wild herbs, minerals and very fine tannins. Delicious wine, the new wave of Sicilian wines are truly delicious.

Jen –
I discovered this wine in a high end restaurant and had to track down a supplier so I could drink it more often. It’s utterly delicious and works well in virtually any scenario and with any dish. Highly recommended.
