Smoky ash and wet stone dominate the nose, with crisp green apple and mineral dust building underneath. The palate shows surprising richness for Carricante, delivering concentrated orchard fruit against a backdrop of sea salt and crushed limestone. Racy acidity cuts through the texture beautifully, while white flowers and herbs linger on the precise finish. Drinking beautifully now through 2030.
