SUSUCARU® Bianco
All started in 2021 with the Patos® project for Sondre Lerche through our Norwegian importer and friend Jørgen Ljøstadt, creating a price-quality white wine, more traditionally produced and based on mainly Cattaratto which I very much like, especially from my favorite winemaking areas for white wines in Sicily, Alcamo. The goal is to produce a lighter style wine with character and sapidity.
