A skin-contact Carricante — which is already an unusual proposition, since Carricante is a grape Sicily normally treats as a crisp, high-acid white. Here it gets time on its skins, which gives it texture and a little grip without turning it into a wild, funky orange wine; it's about as friendly an entry point into the category as you'll find. The grapes come from Gibellina in western Sicily, where the estate works sunny, wind-swept vineyards in a corner of the island whose history was marked by devastating earthquakes — the wine is meant as a nod to the generations who farmed that land. Every wine in the range is certified organic. For anyone curious about orange wine but wary of the deep end, start here.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled swordfish with salmoriglio, pasta con le sarde, chickpea panelle, roast chicken with lemon and olives, aged pecorino, or a plate of caponata.

Tasting Profile

Dry and medium-bodied, copper-tinged in the glass. Aromas of dried apricot, orange peel and a little chamomile. The skin contact adds a light grip rather than heavy tannin, and the acidity stays bright and tart. Finishes clean and slightly saline.
