    2019 ‘Occhi di Ciumi’, Al-Cantara

    £2650

    A beautifully fresh wine with tropical notes and a core of minerality shining through the spicy flavour, long and saline on the finish.

    Made from a blend of Carricante and Grecanico. Carricante is an ancient white wine grape variety from eastern Sicily. It is thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mt Etna for at least a thousand years. Grecanico is one of the great varieties of white wine grape native to Italy, it is more commonly called Gargenega.

    Occhi di Ciumi grapes are grown in a valley between the volcano and the Nebrodi Mountains, at approximately 620 metres above sea level. At this elevation, warm days and cool nights encourage a long ripening period concentrating the flavours in the grapes while retaining balancing acidity. The vines are grown in ash coloured volcanic soils, which are rich in minerals and fossils. The soil is permeable to air and water and is rich in pumice stone and microelements, which allow the plants to produce a complex aromatic profile. The 10 to 50 year old vines are cultivated following organic and biodynamic principles and the vineyard is in conversion to organic status.
