The Mineral Essence of the Volcano: Pure Carricante

From the extreme altitudes of the Etnean terroir comes a white wine with a brilliant golden hue, capable of translating the volcano's energy into pure mineral verticality and vibrant freshness. A sensory experience that brings the power and elegance of the Sicilian landscape to your glass, sip after sip.

• 🌋 Extreme Volcanic Terroir: The vine roots reach deep into soils composed of volcanic sands rich in lapilli and eruptive pumice (the local ripiddu). This inimitable soil gives the wine a sharp savoriness and a marked minerality.
• 🌱 100% Alberello Carricante: Traditional high-density cultivation (8,000 vines/ha) with strictly limited yields (4,030 l/ha) and manual harvesting between the first and second ten days of October, to maximize aromatic concentration.
• 🧑🍳 Indigenous Vinification: Pressing is carried out on whole white grapes, using exclusively indigenous yeasts with a slow 13-15 day fermentation. This process preserves intact the lively citrus notes of lime, bergamot, linden, helichrysum, and young caper flowers.
• 🍷 Large Barrel Aging: A 12-month rest in large oak barrels shapes the sip, keeping it lean while granting it extraordinary persistence before a delicate filtration at bottling.

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:

I suggest serving it at 10-12°C, never ice-cold, so as not to inhibit the floral notes. From experience, try pairing it with sea urchin linguine or a red prawn crudo: the sharp savoriness will perfectly balance the sweetness of the catch.
