Founded in 2005, the winery built its reputation on high-altitude vineyards that are unusual for the island, favoring freshness and minerality over the riper, fuller style many associate with Sicilian whites. Shiarà, meaning a flash or shaft of light in the local dialect, is the estate's signature expression of native Catarratto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit for Shiarà comes from old bush-trained vines planted between nine hundred and one thousand meters above sea level, among the highest vineyard sites in Sicily, where sandy clay soils rich in active limestone slow ripening and preserve natural acidity. Grapes are hand harvested in October, fermented at controlled temperature, and aged for six months in stainless steel followed by additional bottle rest before release, with no malolactic fermentation to keep the wine taut and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass shows a bright golden straw hue, with aromas of white peach, ripe pear, and citrus layered over notes of alfalfa, cedar, and crushed stone. On the palate it is vertical and saline, with lively acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. Serve alongside grilled swordfish, seafood couscous, or aged sheep's milk cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castelluccimiano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46346175512762,"sku":"104888","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/CastelluccimianoShiaraBottle.jpg?v=1786729208","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2023-castelluccimiano-valledolmo-contea-di-sclafani-doc-catarratto-shiara-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
