Learn about Carricante — taste profile, popular regions and more …
Inhabiting the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily for the last thousand years, Carricante is the dominant grape in the Etna Bianco DOC blends, with Catarratto as a possible minor blending partner. The best examples come from volcanic soils at higher altitudes where a marked diurnal temperature shift allows slow and steady ripening and the development of Carricante’s naturally high acidity.

Sommelier Secrets for Carricante
A vine variety capable of high yields if not tended to properly, Carricante gets its name from, carica, the Italian word for “load.”
