Description

90 points Eric Guido (Vinous): “The NV Brut Metodo Classico Carricante rises up spicy and perfumed, as crushed almonds give way to yellow flowers, notes of lime and ginger. Its silken bubbles soothe the palate with ripe orchard fruits, gaining a more tactile feel as salty minerals settle in under an air of smoke. I’m enjoying the contrasts here – sometimes savory and sometimes sweet, but at all times vibrant and refreshing, as a lasting flourish of honeyed florals lingers on. Of note: While the bottle itself is non-vintage, it is also stamped with ‘Vendemmia 2017’ on the back label. Drink: 2021-2024. (Jun 2021)”

Producer notes: “100% Carricante. The Metodo Classico is produced from indigenous grapes cultivated in a climatically appropriate environment, 2500 feet above sea level. Carricante harvested early and processed with the greatest care and the sage advice of Josef Reiterer. All the activities are undertaken manually for a brut which explores the black land of Etna. In the mouth the wine flows smoothly and softly with a delicate flavour of citrus and passion fruit. A surprising and enchanting taste, rich and at the finish punctuated with aromas of the Mediterranean macchia. Alcohol 12%.”
