NV Fuso Dario Serrentino Catarratto Orange

Golden, hazy, and unapologetically textured. This Sicilian orange wine leans into tradition with a modern pulse, capturing Catarratto in its most expressive, skin-kissed form. It doesn’t rush. Extended skin contact builds grip and depth, while sun-soaked citrus and dried orchard fruit stretch across the palate in a way that feels both rustic and precise. There’s structure here, but nothing feels forced or heavy-handed. A faint oxidative edge flickers through the fruit, adding intrigue without overshadowing its brightness. It’s raw in spirit, yet surprisingly composed.

Nose: Layered and slightly wild. Dried apricot, orange peel, and chamomile drift upward, followed by a hint of almond skin and sun-baked herbs.

Palate: Textural and firm. Bitter orange and stone fruit lead, then tea-like tannins settle in, giving the wine a gentle grip and savory depth.

Finish: Dry and persistent. A subtle tannic tug lingers alongside citrus pith and a faintly earthy echo that keeps pulling you back.

Bold flavors welcome this wine. Roasted vegetables, spiced couscous, and grilled eggplant all sync with its tannic edge and layered aromatics. It holds its ground with richer dishes too—think roasted chicken, pork with herbs, or aged cheeses that mirror its savory undertones.
