Carricante
Filter
Carricante is a white grape variety native to Sicily, Italy. It is primarily grown on the slopes of Mount Etna, where the volcanic soil contributes unique characteristics to the wine produced from this grape. Carricante is known for its high acidity, mineral qualities, and ability to age well.
Wines made from Carricante are typically citrusy and floral, with notes of green apple, pear, and sometimes a hint of smoke or flint due to the volcanic terroir. It is often used in blends but can also be made into varietal wines. Carricante has gained recognition for its quality, and interest in it has been growing among wine enthusiasts and producers.
It's also worth noting that Carricante is sometimes used in the production of the prestigious Etna Bianco wine, which is appreciated for its complexity and ageability.
