Tola Grillo vs Tola Catarratto

I have tried both of these wine before but different intages and never together so tat I can compare the, The wines are from producer Azienda Tola in Sicily and the grapes Grillo and Catarratto which are very common is Sicily. Both vintages is 2016 and the ABV is 13%.

The grillo has a taste of pears, grapefruits and some gooseberries. While the Catarratto has citrus, pears and some minerals. I found the Catarratto 2016 to be a bit lighter than the vintage 2015. I find them both to be good and both goes very well with seafood or a lighter pasta dish. The quality over the years are consistent.

Two white wines from AziendaTola

It is not often that I have the chance to try two different wines from the same producer. But I had the chance to try out two different wines from producer Azienda Vitivinicola Tola. Both are made of indigenous grape of Sicily. One from Grillo grapes and one from Catarratto grapes and both are of vintage 2015. Azienda Tola is situated near Palermo in the north of Sicily.

The Azienda Tola wine made from Grillo is very fruity and fresh, some pears and some grapefruit in the end. Very good.

The Azienda Tola wine made from Cattaratto has a very flowery smell. The taste is of pear and some citrus. Compared to the Grillo this is more intense than fresh.

All in all two good wines.
