This is Carricante with real energy — think fresh lemon zest, green apple and a crunch that feels straight out of the fridge on a hot day. There’s a salty, mouth-watering edge running alongside the fruit that keeps it sharp, clean and seriously drinkable.
Grown high on the slopes of Mount Etna, these old bush vines dig deep into porous lava soils, pulling up a natural minerality that gives the wine its crystalline feel.
The vineyards sit so high they fall outside the Etna DOC, but for Carlo Ferrini — one of Italy’s most respected winemakers — this is exactly where the best vines are. Fermented and aged in stainless steel with careful lees contact, the wine balances Etna’s wild character with precision and finesse.
Fresh, volcanic and quietly complex, this is Etna white at its most compelling.
