Dario Serrentino

Dario Serrentino from Mortellito crafts a wine for the FUSO project that is committed to low intervention and representing the local terroir. His wine is called Cala. Cala Bianco is a spin on the white grapes from the northwest of Sicilia. Dario works with the specific clone of Catarratto that’s called Catarratto Extra Lucido – Extra Shiny Catarratto – which gives wines with more texture, depth, and color that the common Catarratto usually found throughout Sicilia. Dario is known for making highly drinkable and sea-breeze salty island wines. He is working here in the raised 400 meter plains outside the town of Partinico, 30 km west of Palermo. He also produces a Cala Rosso from the same region.
