Tech Details
Catalino comes from a dry-farmed vineyard of over 100-year-old Pais vines, traditionally cultivated with horse ploughing. The site is located on a gentle hillside, with soils over a granite base. The surrounding soils are characteristic of the area, marked by red clays and ancient granitic formations with quartz inclusions, contributing both structure and a distinct sense of place to the wine.
