The bouquet reveals smoky notes of citrus and mountain herbs, enhanced by hints of salted butter, white flowers and flint. On the palate, it offers a fresh, savoury and vertical sip, driven by lively acidity and a \u003cstrong\u003elong mineral persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e that faithfully reflects the strength of the volcanic soil, enhanced by vinification and ageing in cement tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines sink their roots into the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eContrada Muganazzi\u003c\/strong\u003e, in Passopisciaro on the northern slope of Etna. In this \u003cstrong\u003ecool mountain environment\u003c\/strong\u003e, the plants grow up to seven hundred metres above sea level, benefiting from ideal conditions for slow ripening. The brown soils of \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic origin\u003c\/strong\u003e are rich in stones, iron and nitrogen, with a total absence of limestone. This unique sandy composition gives the grapes an unmistakable gustatory tension, imparting a pronounced savoury imprint that defines the wine’s profound soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in mid-October with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. The grapes undergo a slow pressing, followed by spontaneous fermentation carried out solely by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Vinification takes place in \u003cstrong\u003ecement tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the wine matures on the lees for eight months. This targeted technical choice preserves the aromatic integrity, resulting in a wine with a balanced structure, characterised by vivid acidity, a linear progression and a distinctly mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarricante is a historic white grape variety native to Etna.
