A particularly savory/herbal white wine. Bay leaf, wild sage, etc. + citrus and plenty of acid with a certain roundness and the phenolic a that Carricante can have nicely in the background.

Round butterscotch entry on palate after a painfully generic white wine nose of pear and "grapiness". Slight bitter tinge on the finish. Meh. I wanted a cheaper Puddara. Certainly this is varietally correct with anise and orange blossom that poke out...but where's the mineral tension. Feels flat. Rounder than needed. No way Jose is this a bargain Puddara.

Light fizz in this young wine, a presence of herbs, generally light and easy drinking. A good wine to start with.

Golden hue with brownish overtones. Muted nose of white flowers and hints of sweet almond. Medium bodied on the palate with medium acidity, 13% alcohol, no new oak, and short finish. Made from 100% Carricante cultivated organically on the north face of Mount Etna at 2,300 feet elevation, this vintage seems to be past it's prime currently.
