2018 Aldo Viola Krimiso Catarratto Terre Siciliane Bianco

Krimiso is a skin‐contact white wine produced entirely from 100% Catarratto grapes grown in the Terre Siciliane IGT of Sicily. Named after a local river and its corresponding ancient deity, the wine is crafted by Aldo Viola using traditional, minimal‐intervention techniques. The whole clusters are harvested and placed in stainless steel tanks for an extended maceration period—reported as six to eight months—with occasional pump‐overs. The grapes are not pressed; instead, the wine is drawn directly from the tank without any added sulfur, reflecting a commitment to preserving the vineyard’s natural character and terroir.
