Catarratto is one of Sicily's most popular white wine grapes and typically makes pretty easy, straightforward wines. But this wine elevates things a notch with an extra edge of pear fruity generosity, a lovely smooth and effortless shape to it, and a wonderful floral flourish.

Marsala, where the Tenuta Bellamora winery sits, is probably more famous for fortified wines than it is for bright, organic modern reds and whites, but it is here that we find some of Italy's greatest finds. Indeed, we stumbled across these wines at an Italian roadshow a year or so back, and we were immediately in love. The simple, but rather beautiful, label sets the tone for Tenuta Bellamora. The wines here are crafted by Biagio and Nicola Di Girolamo, who have embraced organic grape growing throughout their range for the past 20 years. The core of their wine business is a commitment to the classical Sicilian indigenous grapes of Grillo, Inzolia, Catarratto, Zibibbo, Nero d'Avola, and Perricone, but complemented by modern varieties like Pinot Grigio and Merlot, with everything made in this joyous, lively style that we can never argue with.
