Nostru Carricante, IGT Terre Siciliane, Azienda Agricola Cortese, Sicily, Italy 2017
Grape: 100% Carricante, Organic
"Rediscovering precious grape varieties from Sicily's rich past. With a big personality and distinctive minerality this is a memorable white." Decanter
This grape is usually seen in Etna Bianco blends, Carricante takes a starring role in this organic white, with pretty aromatics of peach, apricot, stewed apple, citrus and blossom. There's a brisk acidity on the palate, with fresh notes of green apple and yellow citrus. A clean and mineral style, made with precision.
Food Match: Caponata - The wine's acidity balances the sweet and sour flavours of this traditional Sicilian aubergine salad. Also pair with local fried specialties like arancini (fried rice balls), panelle (chickpea fritters), or pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines, anchovies, and fennel. Seafood dishes such as lemon shrimp risotto, tuna skewers. Fresh creamy cheeses like ricotta or burrata
