Gatto Nero Terre Siciliane IGP

Terroir and wine-making

Gatto Nero Funaro is an organic wine obtained by a particular production process following the harvest of Syrah, Merlot, Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Sicilian PGI Salemi. The harvest takes place in the first days of September, following the exposure to the sun of the grapes during the whole summer period in which the fruits have the chance to ripen. The grapes are then macerated for about ten days and then vinified in steel vats at a temperature of 20°C. Following malolactic fermentation, they mature in steel and are aged in bottles. An articulated but natural process, just like the Black Funaro Cat.

Notes of taste

Gatto Nero is a wine that assumes an unexpected but pleasant perception to the senses: a bright red, almost violet, wraps fruity undertones blended with harmony to that of licorice.

Wine at the table

The Gatto Nero accompanies delicious meat dishes: pappardelle and ravioli with ragu, grilled meat, braised but also semi-matured pecorino cheese and international dishes rich in flavor. A pleasant journey for the taste buds. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18°C.

Curiosity

The Funaro Winery has a comfortable guesthouse immersed in the scenic views of the Sicilian PGI, a unique place to taste the fruity Black Cat.
