| Origin | Italy, Sicily, Etna |
A blend dominated by Carricante 80%, one of the island’s indigenous grapes. Generally, Carricante 15% brings a balance of minerality, assertive citrus acidity, and white flower aromatics to play rounded out by 5% of Minnella. Fruit comes from the Terra Costantino estate’s carefully tended Certified Organic vineyard on the southeast slope of Mount Etna. Grapes are harvested by hand, and wine ages for several months in stainless steel before bottling.
Inviting, delicate aromas of fresh citrus and savory herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate. A perfect match with fish and poultry dishes or risotto.

A nose of vanilla, pineapple, pear, quince and key lime evolves subtly into a palate of fresh and dried pineapple, apple, lemon and lime, where lively acid and undertones of crushed rocks and salt push back against a silken texture.

A precise wine with aromas of citrus, minerals, sulfur, spices, lemon peel, white pepper and smoke. Medium-bodied, it displays tingling acidity, vibrancy, a zesty style and a slightly bitter finish. Drink or hold.
