Aldo's pure Catarratto “pét-nat” comes from his iron-rich limestone slopes in northwest Sicily, crown-capped toward the end of its initial fermentation (spontaneous, of course) with no additions whatsoever. The resulting brew offers striking varietal purity, showcasing Catarratto’s apricot-and-peach lusciousness with an alluring smoky undercurrent. “Brutto” is controlled and balanced without being polite, and it’s of a piece with his still wines in its combination of effortless complexity and arresting purity of fruit. Bubbles are controlled rather than foamy, and it has great persistence for such a straightforwardly produced wine. There are but 150 cases for the United States to be had of this vivacious sparkler!

Dusty dried flowers and ground ginger appear as the 2021 Vino Frizzante Catarratto Brutto blossoms in the glass. This is silky smooth, with a massaging wave of sweet bubbles that wash over the senses ushering in ripe orchard fruits and tropical melon. It finishes clean and crisp, leaving a hint of candied lime that lingers on.
