Valdibella, Isolano, Catarratto Extra Lucido, Sicily, Italy

Valdibella is a cooperative mixed farm which, as well as being organic and promoting environmental biodiversity, through the 'Jonathan' project reaches out to help disadvantaged members of the community. They produce wine, wheat and pasta, almonds and oil, vegetables and legumes, grown on hillsides around Camporeale, 35km southwest of Palermo. 

This wine is made from an ancient and rare Sicilian varietal called Catarratto Extra Lucido which has a very thin, almost translucent skin, grown by co-op members, the Solano family.
