Castellucci Miano
Sicilia Catarratto Riserva Shiarà
Castellucci Miano’s Shiarà Riserva is produced with Catarratto grapes, with the estate's oldest vineyards, planted between 1985 and 1995 at a higher altitude (900–1000 meters above sea level). The result is an intense, structured, fresh, and minerally white wine with great aging potential. The name "Shiarà" comes from the Sciarazzi district where the vineyards are located.
Sustainable certified wine by 'SosTain Viva' (Italian Quality System of Sustainable Production).
