From Contrada Caselle on the Eastern slopes of Etna, considered the
cru zone for Carricante and Etna Bianco. This is 100% Carricante
from bush trained pre-phylloxera vines aged 100-120 years old at an altitude of
850 metres. Carricante takes its name from carico, meaning 'charged, loaded,
burdened' which refers to the abundant fruit on the vine. Vinification and
maturation are in stainless steel and the wine shows floral and lemon notes with
mineral and chalk, the crisp palate is refreshing and layered with
texture.
