The sliced-apple, flower and flint aromas come through clearly here. Medium- to full-bodied with a lovely character and vibrancy, this is focused and poised, showing plenty of fruit and a bright finish. Drink now.

Carricante takes its name from carico, meaning 'charged, loaded, burdened' which refers to the abundant fruit on the vine. 100% Carricante from the northern slopes of Mount Etna, 800 metres above sea level.
The vines are bush trained and grown on sandy loam soil. Vinification and maturation are in stainless steel and the wine shows floral and lemon curd notes with pronounced minerality and unabashed acidity typical to Etna.
The Etna Bianco from Pietradolce is made with Carricante grapes grown 800 metres above sea level on teh volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. It is an appealing soft straw yellow colour with lovely aromatics lifting the distinct racy minerality. This is a terrific wine to try if you like Chablis.
