Product notes

The grapes for our Carricante come from a few small goblet-trained plots, nestled in the heart of the Nebrodi and Etna mountains, at an altitude of approximately 600 meters.

Production notes

A few hours of pre-fermentation cryo-maceration take place in the press, followed by gentle pressing of the grapes. The wine is then racked cold and undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 to 18°C. The wine is aged on its lees with bâtonnage (lees stirring) for approximately 6 months.

This whirlwind of aromas and notes results in no heaviness. The result is a refined, balanced, and precise wine, with such intense structure that it lends itself equally well to immediate enjoyment or long aging. Pairings: Fish tartare and whole fish
