2022 Vigneti Vecchio 'Sciare Vive' Carricante

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.
