Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante

John W
9.6

2020 Pietra marina - Etna Bianca superiore. Golden straw coloration. From Mila, birthplace of carricante, why it’s superiore. On the nose, citrus, herbaceous, salinity and minerality. On the palate, rich mouthfeel, citrus, herbs, salinity from the sea, and a finish of herbs (tarragon?) and minerals. Interesting- combo of Chablis and Chardonnay. Paired with mushroom and spring onion mayonnaise. — 18 days ago

Carricante- only white grape or Etna. Sparkling made traditional style
Noblesse- golden straw color.
Paired with carrot cream tart. Citrus and brioche on nose. On palate, minerals, brioche and citrus and toasted almonds. High acidity. Paired well with sweet carrot. Dry. Very little sweetness.

Aerie

Bricco Rosso Centennial Mountain Vineyard Carricante 2018

This is Aeris, not the Gen Z lingerie store….either way, don’t love this - wooden nose, continues on the palate, initial sparkle faded with air but doesn’t overcome the earthiness implied by the smorgasbord of Italian varietals that make up the blend — 2 months ago

Versante Nord Uve Bianche Terre Siciliane Minnella Blend 2023

I am always curious to taste more Minnella
This wine is rich and mineral
It would go great with swordfish
Honestly not my style
I find it to horizontal
I prefer a bit more freshness and verticality
Although it is a wine that reveals the territory that comes from

Palmento Costanzo

Mofete Etna Bianco Catarratto - Carricante Blend 2023

Very rounded Etna white but still lava rock & white flowers, dry white peach. Perhaps less Etna typical for whites I’m used to from there- ie, pin prick acidity etc — 3 months ago

Munjebel Terre Siciliane Bianco Carricante Blend 2018

2018, opened in 2025. Delicious, golden almost orange hue, fresh fruits and citrus nose, balanced tannins and acidity, Etna crushed stone, juicy and super easily drinkable, yet still complex and interesting. — 4 months ago
