The wine Catarratto Midor from Gorghi Tondi winery
The Catarratto Midor from the Tenuta Gorghi Tondi winery is made from 100% Catarratto grapes grown in vineyards owned by the winery. We are near Mazara del Vallo in the westernmost part of Sicily, a stone’s throw from the sea and the sea breezes. The estate is located within a nature reserve protected by the WWF.
The winery is a family-run winery run by women, and since 2016 all vineyards have been certified organic, which means that all the wines are organic and carry the famous green leaf on the label. Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, there is the utmost respect for nature and its balance.
This Catarratto is part of the “Le Maioliche” line, it includes native Sicilian wines that carry the oldest Sicilian ceramics on the label. The Midor is considered “the family wine”; its name comes from the union of Michele Sala and Doretta Tumbarello, the parents of Annamaria and Clara, who are currently running the winery.
The Winemaking
After the harvest, only the selected grapes go to the cellar for winemaking, starting with a soft pressing. The must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement also takes place in steel tanks and lasts about six months. After assembly and bottling, the wine rests for a few more months in the cellar before being released onto the market.
Tasting the wine by Tenuta Gorghi Tondi
Straw yellow with greenish reflections; the aroma is intense with pleasant hints of citrus that intertwine with floral notes where elderberry prevails. Fresh on the palate, this Catarratto Midor has a savoury note and a long, persistent finish.
Food Pairings
Catarratto Midor goes well with fish, white meats and delicate pasta dishes. Try it with gratinated vegetable crepes.
