2024 Marco de Bartoli Lucido Sicilia Bianco Catarratto

Lucido 2024 springs from 45-year Catarratto vines rooted in the windswept limestone of western Sicily.
Marco de Bartoli farms organically, harvesting at dawn to protect piercing aromatics.
Grapes ferment on native yeasts in temperature-controlled steel, then rest five months on fine lees for satin depth.
Each sip layers lemon curd, white peach, and a brush of wild fennel over a spine of briny, chalk-clean tension.
Bone-dry yet mouth-coating, the wine finishes long, salty, and refreshing—pure island brightness bottled for seafood and sunlit evenings.

Nose: Lemon blossom, green pear, and coastal thyme glide above crushed oyster shell.

Palate: Juicy Meyer-lemon, crisp apple, and subtle almond cream race across vibrant acidity and silky lees weight.

Finish: Long, saline close echoes citrus oil, fennel pollen, and cool limestone spice.

Spot-on with grilled swordfish drizzled in lemon oil, spaghetti alle vongole, or a caprese salad topped with basil—the wine’s zesty fruit and mineral snap elevate every Mediterranean bite.
