Carricante is a white wine grape, indigenous to Sicily, thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna for at least a thousand years. The variety is known for its marked acidity and high yields. In the right hands, Carricante wines offer crisp acidity, racy minerality and aromatic, pure, and lemon, tart apple and floral white peach fruit with a twist of mint, and have excellent ageing potential from 5-10 years.
