Sicilian wine region Alcamo initially only produced white wines, which were predominately based on the native Catarratto grapes.
The modifications that were introduced in 1999 have set new guidelines, allowing the production of rosés, red varietals and blends, sparkling spumanto wines, as well as the early release novello, and the sweet, late-harvested vendemmia tardiva.
White Alcamo wines must be made from Catarratto grape (minimum 60%), while the additions may include local or international varieties such as Ansonica, Grillo, Gracanico (Garganega), Chardonnay, Müller Thurgau, and Sauvignon. These dry and balanced white wines are typically light, straw-yellow, and easily drinkable.
Their crisp floral and fruit notes go well with seafood dishes and cheese.
