2010 Purato Catarratto Pinot Grigio

Published March 28, 2014 2010 Vintage , Organic , Pinot Grigio , White Wine , Wine Leave a Comment

The eco-friendly Purato Pinot Grigio/Catarratto is hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards in sunny Sicily. Using only the safest methods of fertilization and pest control, Feudo Santa Tresa has extended their total commitment to the environment by using all eco-friendly products for our packaging; recycled paper and pure vegetable ink for the label, 85% recycled glass for the bottle and recycled cardboard for the cartons.

From the Wine Maker – “60% Cataratto and 40% Pinot Grigio. Displays lemon zest, stone fruit and a hint of dried herb characters on the nose. The palate is beautifully weighted with fine texture, balanced acidity and a lingering dry finish.”

Enjoy with appetizers, pasta, fish or also delicious as an aperitif.

2008 Naked Earth Blanc Vin de Pays d’Oc

Published July 12, 2013 2008 Vintage , Apple , Apricot , Floral , French , Full-bodied , Grapefruit , Lemon , Organic , Vanilla Leave a Comment

This organic white blend features rich tropical fruit flavors that also carry a lot of minerality. Fresh and lively, with a finish of golden raisin and spice. 30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Viognier.

From the Wine Maker – “A clean, pale gold color, accented by the Chardonnay in the wine. The nose is floral and full, with scents of apricot and apple. On the palate Naked Earth Blanc is crisp upon entry, with immediate notes of lemon and grapefruit, moving into more flavors like vanilla and hibiscus flowers. It ends on a dry finish with gripping texture, coming from the wines’ generous minerality and balanced acidity.”

This wine is excellent with pasta in light wine sauce like lemon-flavored olive oil or spicy Asian noodles. It also goes well with caesar or green salads with light to medium dressings.
