The Elegance of Carricante: An Award-Winning Mineral White from the South
The Etna Bianco DOC Turano, a pure and authentic expression of the Carricante grape, originates on the slopes of the volcano between 600 and 800 meters above sea level. The late harvest in October, typical of the high Etna altitudes, allows for slow aromatic development. This wine has achieved excellence, receiving a prestigious score of 91.2 at the 18th "Radici del Sud" competition, establishing itself among the best whites in Southern Italy.
- 🌋 Volcanic Identity: The high altitude gives the wine a marked sapidity and an unmistakable mineral signature, a direct legacy of the Etna soil.
- 🌱 Indigenous Purity: Produced exclusively from Carricante grapes, Etna's premier white variety, capable of expressing freshness and longevity.
- 🧑🍳 Precision in the Cellar: After a brief static settling, the must ferments at a constant 16°C to preserve primary aromas, followed by 6 months of aging in steel silos.
- 🍷 Aromatic Profile: The nose opens with a refined fruity bouquet, intertwined with delicate Mediterranean herbs and vibrant mineral notes. On the palate, it is enveloping, fresh, and has great persistence.
- 🏆 Official Recognition: Rated among the "excellent wines of Southern Italy" with a score of 91.2, a testament to careful craftsmanship and superior raw materials.

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:
The marked minerality and freshness of this pure Carricante require pairings capable of balancing its structure without overpowering it. For an impeccable gastronomic experience, I recommend pairing it with raw seafood, particularly scampi or red prawns. If you prefer earthier flavors, its savory note magnificently enhances a porcini mushroom risotto or the classic vegetarian pasta dishes of our Sicilian tradition.

QUICK FAQ
What does aging in steel silos mean?
The use of steel, unlike wood, does not impart tertiary aromas (such as vanilla or toastiness) to the wine. This choice enhances the original freshness of the Carricante grape and the mineral notes typical of Etna soil.
Which vintage should I choose between 2021 and 2022?
The 2022 vintage offers more immediate, fresh drinkability, while the 2021, with an extra year of rest, may present a more evolved and rounded minerality. Both faithfully express the terroir.
