"A textural, vital, mineral-driven white that delivers great freshness and balance. Nervy, light-bodied, citrusy, chalky, with lime zest, white pepper, green apple skin and lemon flavors. Rare in California, this Sicilian grape variety is something new and fresh to try. Drink now."

"This refreshing and zesty blend of Pinot Grigio and Malvasia delivers aromas of mixed citrus and fresh flowers on the nose. The focused palate brings loads of lemon, lime and pomelo, plus chalky minerality and a pithy, floral finish. Hidden Gem. -T.R.C."

"The 2021 Carricante is a beguiling white. Gentle in its contours, it is alluring right out of the gate. Lemon confit, white flowers, ginger and spice all grace this gentle, inviting white. The 2021 is an especially open-knit Carricante. Warm, dry weather softened the edges, adding to a palpable sense of immediacy."
