The Wine The Wine
Italy
Region:Sicily
This is a lovely grape variety when made well, with an excellent ability to express its origin - in this case, the sun-soaked vineyards of Sicily. Lovely, ripe stone fruit lifted by refreshing citrus and a mineral edge to the finish thanks to the limestone-rich soils these vines were grown in. This is a great all-rounder but pairs superbly well with chicken in all its guises.

"We like Carricante fruit that's grown on limestone soils as it seems to give the wine more structure and freshness, which is really important to have for fruit that is grown in really hot climates like Sicily." - Giuseppe Clenenti, Winemaker.
