Variety description

10 August 2026

The vine is characterized by high vigor and a medium-late ripening period. The leaf is rounded, five-lobed, and deeply incised. The bunch is medium-sized, cylindrical or conical, and medium-dense. The berries are medium-sized, rounded or slightly oval, covered with a thick waxy bloom, and have thick skin.

The variety possesses high and stable yields, requiring control of the load per vine. It is adapted to the hot, arid Mediterranean climate, but is not resistant to frost. It has relative resistance to fungal diseases, bacteria, and viruses.

A wine variety used for the production of dry white wines, as well as fortified wines of the Marsala type. The flavor and aroma profile of the wines is characterized by moderate acidity, notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, almond, and herbaceous and mineral undertones.

Two main varieties are distinguished: the higher-yielding Catarratto Bianco Comune and Catarratto Bianco Lucido, which possesses more pronounced aromatic properties and is considered to be of higher quality.
