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.

The Opus One 2018 offers profuse aromas of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry. Elegant notes of violets, white pepper and rose petals follow and together they deliver a very seductive bouquet. The seamlessly layered flavors build to a crescendo of fresh and juicy black-fruit, accented with hints of orange zest, licorice and dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced, the smooth round tannins and fresh acidity combine to create a soft, creamy mouthfeel and extend the flavors into a long persistent finish.
Blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec
Reviews:
Extremely perfumed and floral with lavender, lilacs and violets to the sweet, ripe berries, such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Some slate and graphite, too. It’s full-bodied, yet ever so balanced and refined, with super fine tannins that last for minutes. Fresh herbs, such as bay leaf and lemon grass highlight the dark fruit. The quality of tannin is exquisite with wonderful polish and refinement. Lasts for minutes. So wonderful to taste now, but better after 2026.
