Carricante is an ancient white wine grape variety from eastern Sicily. It is thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mt Etna for at least a thousand years.

Winemaking: 

The modern structure of the wine cellar is designed to allow that the process of filling of the truncated-conical fermentation vats, occurs exclusively by gravity. The process of a uniform mechanical punch-down allows for the extraction of the most noble of substances from the skins. At the end of the fermentation process, the wines are transferred into oak barrels. The entire architectural system is designed to achieve a natural control of the temperatures inside the cellar. The double lava-stone perimeter walls grant a thermic isolation from the external environment.
