How to serve it
Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow. The nose is floral, with white flowers, lemon and green apple and a stony mineral note. The palate is fresh, clean and pure thanks to the unoaked winemaking, with citrus and apple fruit, crisp acidity and a savoury, mineral finish.
About this wine
Lu Bancu is Feudo Disisa's Catarratto, one of the most widely planted native white grapes of Sicily. The Di Lorenzo family has owned the Disisa estate, between the Belice and Jato valleys in western Sicily, for almost two hundred years.
The grapes come from vines around ten years old, and the wine is made without any contact with oak in order to preserve the purity of the fruit. Its name is tied to a family legend about a treasure hidden in the Disisa mansion, a story it shares with the estate's red Granmassenti.
The result is a fresh, floral white with citrus, apple and a clear mineral streak.
