Carricante

Ripe white fruit and orange blossom sit with light sulphurous touches. The palate is savoury and continuous, with dynamic development and a persistent finish carrying floral and balsamic notes. Carricante ferments for twenty-five to thirty days at controlled temperature, then matures on fine lees in stainless steel for twelve to fifteen months. Production totals 12,000 bottles.

The aroma is full and distinct, with white peach, lemon, lime and sage. The mouthfeel is intense, with stony, chalky minerals and fine texture from gentle lees stirring. Carricante comes from vines more than a century old, planted on sandy loam above 850 metres on Etna. Grapefruit, herbs, freshness and a long finish are also present. The wine contains 13.5% alcohol.

Grecanico and Carricante come from vines more than forty years old on volcanic soils. The white wine spends four days in contact with its skins before fermentation in neutral fibreglass tanks. It then rests on the lees for about eighteen months. The wine is dry, carries thirteen percent alcohol and comes from vineyards on Mount Etna cultivated according to organic methods.

Grecanico Dorato and Carricante come from vineyards between 620 and 750 metres, with mostly ungrafted vines averaging more than forty years old. Production includes destemming, cold skin maceration, pressing, fermentation and maturation for about eighteen months on the lees. The profile has a deep yellow colour, white-fruit and almond notes, a delicate palate and bitterness from the maceration.

Green apple and crisp citrus lead, joined by fresh herbs, white flowers and a subtle iodine note. The palate is bright and finely textured, with lively acidity carrying lemon peel and crunchy green fruit. A continuous saline line gives the wine shape and keeps its aromatic character precise. Dry and poised, it closes with mineral freshness, soft spice and a clean, persistent maritime finish.

Citrus and field flowers open, followed by ripe orchard fruit, cedar and a measured almond note. The palate is broad and finely textured, with fresh acidity and a distinct saline mineral line carrying the fruit. Orange pith and pear add definition through the centre, while white pepper brings gentle lift. Dry and persistent, it finishes with citrus, sweet almond and a long volcanic-mineral edge.
