The Carricante grapes grow at 700 meters above sea level on an east-facing single vineyard on the slopes of Etna, Contrada Praino - Milo.

The soil is sandy volcanic soil with plenty of organic matter and rich in minerals.

The aroma opens with wild scents of lychee, citrus, and herbs. 

The taste is extremely delicate and lively with juicy lemon and yellow apples. 

Truly delicious and insanely elegant wine!

 

The grapes are hand-harvested in October. They have undergone cryomaceration for six hours, and then the whole clusters have been pressed. The must has been clarified at low temperature. Fermented in steel and small French oak barrels, 30% in steel and 70% in oak barrels. Aged on the lees for 8 months.

This is an incredible Etna Wine with the depth and intensity of a grand cru Burgundy, showing sliced cooked apples, cream, flint, oyster shells and spices. Full-bodied and layered with super length and finish. Weigtless and true. A triumph. A pure carricante grown at 700 meters.
