Arèmi

In the Sicilian language, Arèmi is the name of coins, one of the four suits of the Latin playing cards that became diamonds in French cards, and it refers to gold, the precious material of which money were made in the past.

Catarratto is pure gold, intense and bright, that shines under the warm Sicilian sun, rich of the ancient history that wise hands have passed on from generation to generation, from the grape's homeland in Greece to the fertile soils of Menfi.

Arèmi means love for the land, respect for traditions and conscious acceptance of a heritage that is worth preserving.
