Aurora Carricante

Mineral and salinity at the core of this mountain-grown wine; wrapped in a richness that is reminiscent of the lees treatment seen in burgundy but less predictable. There's a ton of other happenings here too - floral, tropical, lychee, pear, citron marmalade- but it's all subtle and integrated. Some of sicily's best at this price. Paired great with some salmon and pesto with hash!

Vulcanico!!

Delicious Sicilian white, velvety fruit, fresh acid and saline minerality. Paired very well with white anchovies in a Parmesan "taco shell" prep with orange peel aioli.

Tasted the 2014 side by side with Foti's 2012 Carjcanti from Gulfi (with the aspiring younger Foti, Simone) granted this one was 2 years younger, you can tell Carricante craves the elevation and volcanic soil from Etna

Salinity turnt up

Wow, best of breed Etna Bianco at a great price, great citrus flavors with booming Vulcan acidity, and a hint of barrique to give it subtle vanilla, honey flavors - Salvo Foti does it again

First venture into I Vigneri Bianco and a fun ride it was. Pretty opulent; round, cheese rind, lychee, and lees-y. 👌

Apricot pit, tide pool & algae. Pretty epic, if unchanging.
