Tasting Notes

70% Carricante, 30% Indigenous Field Blend (Minnella, Inzolia, Grecancico, Catarratto)

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Etna Carricante pairs best with dishes that emphasize freshness, moderate richness, and mineral-driven balance. Think grilled or roasted fish with olive oil and herbs, raw or lightly cured seafood, and vegetable-forward dishes that highlight bitterness or salinity. It works especially well with Sicilian-inspired preparations like swordfish with capers and lemon, pasta with clams or bottarga, or grilled vegetables dressed simply with citrus and olive oil. For a less traditional pairing, try it alongside Japanese-inspired dishes such as sashimi or lightly seasoned tempura, where the wine’s acidity and volcanic structure mirror clean flavors and crisp textures.

About the Producer

Vigneti Vecchio is a small, family-run estate based on the northern face of Mount Etna, in eastern Sicily. While viticulture on Etna stretches back thousands of years, it is only within the last two decades that the volcano’s wines have gained sustained international attention. This renewed focus has drawn producers seeking to understand Etna not as a singular site, but as a mosaic of elevations, soils, and exposures capable of producing wines of precision and restraint at a southern latitude.
