Cantine Olivella, "Katà," Campania, Italy, Catalanseca del Monte Somma, 2021

Grown on the hillsides in Vesuvius National Park, this indigenous grape Catalanesca is only grown here.  A RARE find indeed.  Lava rich soils from the oldest part of Mount Vesuvius, yes that one, provide a smokey, steely characteristics supported by rich apricot, nectarine, and crisp Asian pear flavors.  Enjoy with clam pizza or braised rabbit.
