Carricante, native to Sicily’s Mount Etna, shines brightly here, thanks to this winery dedicating itself to some unique Italian varieties. The vineyard sits 2,000 feet above sea level, organically farmed, with Biodynamic practices. Whole cluster pressed and stirred two times a month for 12 months with four months in stainless steel, the mouthfeel is leesy. Notes of cookie batter, sunflower petals, and lemon sorbet are impressive clean cut. Stony notes are coated with vanilla crème, seasoned with salty pears and thyme-kissed papaya. Perfectly balanced acidity strikes the right notes.
Aromas of orange peel and plumeria are attention-grabbing. Dry and dusty, taut, and filled with tension, notes of cranberry, violets, and cherry skin line the mouth. A big bold statement, and thanks to its silky tannins and old-world style acidity, it becomes a most food-friendly red. Organically dry-farmed, with Biodynamic practices on a high-altitude vineyard that sits on clay weathered from metamorphic Franciscan shale and schist.
A dusty grip on the tongue, with powdered tannins, and a nod to the old-world acidity that addresses its resemblance to its Italian cousin: Mount Etna’s volcanic soils in Sicily. White pepper, Mediterranean herbs, and umami are flavors that romance the palate. Expressive and expansive notes of dark red cherry on the finish.
