Made from ancient Pre-phylloxera Carricante vines grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, 800 metres above sea level. Carricante takes its name from carico, meaning ‘charged, loaded, burdened’ which refers to the abundant fruit on the vine.
In the glass this wine displays a piercingly mineral aroma; salty, herbaceous, grassy notes combine with soft white peach and a flinty, stony-inflected tang. The wine is crisp, lean with vibrant. Its racy acidity provides a fresh, clear and linear mouthfeel. Lemon juice and lemon peel lead to a long and refreshing finish.
A wonderful expression of Sicilian white wine and great value!
