Bianco Centennial Mountain Carricante

Even better than the last vintage. Really does remind me of Etna whites.

Sonoma Carricante made by Rhys 👀👀

The nose has Bruised and older apples, pear, lemon, slight oxidation in a great way. Reminds me of a Joly style wine. Mouth is super lively with high acidity and fresh and stops apples, pear, lemon, slight salinity, crushed rocks, white flowers. Head scratching good wine.

Lemon curd and candied pineapple. Good weight and acidity. Quality.

Superb, brings out the traits of a fine Sicilian carricante

Tasted in Healdsburg w/Mario

Clean crisp with apricot citrus tones and minerality

Lemongrass and lavender on the nose. Cantaloupe and candied lemon flavors, very juicy body

Light straw in color. Citrus, apple, mineral, stone and saline. Lovely mouthfeel and a long finish. The only domestic plot of carricante. Drink it next to the Aeris Sicilian bottling of the same varietal for fun. Worth chasing down. Paired with @Valerie O'Shea paella.

Notes of cream brûlée, creamcicle, citrus flower and a slight hint of orange explode from the glass in contrast to the pale straw coloring of the wine itself. Medium bodied, with good acidity that’s just starting to soften, with notes of fresh honeydew, cantaloupe, and strong florals, then contributes to open as the flavor evolves. As It progresses it becomes progressively more oxidized, until it culminates in a hint of diesel fuel on the finish. This is an incredibly surprising and complex wine that kind of blows my mind.
