Tasting Notes

On the nose, it presents a bright and sparkling straw color, inviting exploration. The aromatic profile is refined and fragrant, with notes of orange blossom, reminiscent of the typical scents of orange blossom, and a delicate blend of white peach, citrus, and almond. These aromas unfold harmoniously on the nose, immediately bringing to mind the fresh Sicilian breezes.
On the palate, "Benedè" is characterized by a vibrant freshness, well-balanced by a certain body that gives it a solid yet unobtrusive structure. Notes of white fruit and citrus recur on the palate, creating a sensation of great balance and dynamism. Its fruity crispness is accompanied by a remarkable persistence, leaving a pleasantly fresh and clean aftertaste.

Pairings

This Catarratto is the ideal companion for any social occasion, perfect as an aperitif or paired with typical Sicilian seafood dishes. Its structure pairs beautifully with sardines a beccafico, but it also pairs beautifully with fish appetizers, fried seafood, or shellfish and seafood dishes.

Cellar - Alessandro di Camporeale

Alessandro di Camporeale, Passion for Generations: the title and subtitle, almost like a novel, feature the land, history, and expertise of a family—the Alessandros—who have dedicated endless energy and passionate attention to the world of winemaking since the beginning of the last century, spearheading a quiet production revolution centered on the vineyard and sound cellar practices.
The generations that have marked the company's history—to return to the subtitle—are four in total, with the last two still firmly holding the reins of the company today, playing their part on the beautiful stage of Contrada Mandranova, part of the Camporeale territory.
We are—indeed—in the province of Palermo, so the setting is that of the lands of the Big Island. Between 400 and 600 meters above sea level, 35 of a total of fifty hectares are currently cultivated as vineyards, planted primarily with the native varieties of Nero d'Avola, Catarratto, and Grillo, along with international varieties of Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc, which over the decades have proven to thrive in the Camporeale terroir.
By managing all the activities between the rows manually, from green pruning to topping, from defoliation to bunch thinning, up to the harvest, the principles of organic farming are rigorously adhered to, and the grapes harvested from season to season always meet the highest quality standards.
In the cellar, the modern and functional spaces built in 2000 are equipped with all the latest winemaking technologies, always applied with respect for the raw materials and Sicilian traditions, resulting in the production of "Benedè", "Donnatá", "Vigna di Mandranova", and "Kaid": all wines, those with the name "Alessandro di Camporeale" on the label, capable of encapsulating the finest essence of Sicilian winemaking, and at the same time capable of offering genuine emotions unlike any other.
