Carricante
The noble white of Mount Etna, Carricante thrives in the volcanic soils of Sicily, yielding wines of remarkable tension and minerality. Bright citrus, green apple, and saline notes lead, underpinned by a bracing acidity that ensures longevity. With time, honeyed nuances and a faint almond bitterness emerge, adding complexity. Etna’s altitude preserves freshness, allowing Carricante to rival the great whites of Europe in elegance and ageability. Textured yet precise, it offers a compelling expression of Sicily’s dramatic landscape, with each sip echoing the island’s windswept terraces and smoky, ashen terroir.
