Catarratto can be a great european wine
Veronika Crecelius, a leading voice in European wine journalism, recognizes in ARCA’s wines a clear and coherent identity—capable of expressing territory, elegance, and authenticity. When properly cultivated and vinified with respect, Catarratto becomes one of the great Mediterranean whites. Far from trends, close to the land, it is a wine that tells true stories. And that, today, makes all the difference.
Catarratto is a matter of conscience, not a trend
One of Sicily’s most respected oenologists, Tonino Guzzo believed in Catarratto when few were defending it. For him, it’s a matter of conscience, not fashion. He champions its agricultural truth, the strength of its biotypes, and the need for deep knowledge and respect. For Guzzo, ARCA is an ethical and technical space where Catarratto can reclaim its dignity, depth, and a new season of awareness.
Catarratto is our most authentic voice
President of ARCA and long-time producer, Sebastiano Di Bella describes Catarratto as the authentic expression of territory, people, and vision. With calm conviction, he champions a wine that needs no disguise, only coherence. That is the spirit of ARCA: to give voice to a shared agricultural and cultural identity, and to place Catarratto at the heart of Sicily’s and the Mediterranean’s wine narrative.
