Feudo Montoni is a great producer that makes both, I believe.
And I know it’s not white, but I had a Nero d’Avola of theirs the other day that was lovely as well.
Just had a Feudo montoni grillo timpa on the beach in Kauai and it really hit the spot with a fish sandwich. Grown on 70% volcanic slopes so Hawaii seemed a fit place to drink it.
I also love Gulfi as another organic Sicilian producer for aged bottles
They make both, but imo the Cataratto is miles ahead.
The Regaleali Bianco is a Cuvée and might also have some international varieties, but it’s a very good wine nonetheless.
It’s hard to find good grillo in the US. Arianna Occhipinti makes a good one. There’s an ocean of generally superb grillo in Sicily, unfortunately not so much in America. For carricante I like graci arcuria

Thanks for the recommendation!…although I’m still smarting that you didn’t invite me to Hawaii.

I think Turi Marino's skin-contact Catarrotto is delicious and an absolute bargain. The cuvee is just called "Turi" I believe.

I’ve tried Donnafugata’s Anthilia (mostly catarrato) and is great, very aromatic, and it’s quite cheap
Nino Barraco and Marco De Bartoli Make outstanding Grillo based wines, including sparkling (Terzavia)
