This white grape hails from the mineral-rich black soil of the Sciara Nuova vineyard at an altitude of 890m on the northern slopes of Mt Etna. Crisp acidity, racy minerality with aromatic, pure, citrus notes, tart apple and floral white peach fruit.

Bright fruitiness, with a touch of minerality and steel. Crisp, fresh palate, revealing stone furit and medium weight. Modern expression of Carricante. 5* 18.5/20
Peter McCombieDecanter Magazine, Italy Supplement, February 2012

Is Mount Etna Italy's greatest secret when it comes to whites? It certainly makes some amazing wines from the Carricante grape: taut, minerally and refreshing. This is stony and crisp with notes of white flowers and lime blossom and a tangy finish. Sicily's answer to Chablis. Drink now to 3 years. 92/100

Made from carricante grapes grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, this is a fierce, tightly coiled and vital white charged with mineral flavours. A glass of it certainly wakes you up.
