100% Carricante
The nose shows notes of sugared almond, lemon peel, marzipan,
salted butter, jasmine, and mustard flowers, with hints of mint,
spice, and flint. There is a distinct marine minerality on the palate; it
possesses balanced acidity with a slightly honeyed note on the
smooth yet voluptuous finish.
The 2022 Bianco pleases on many levels, wafting up with an unexpected fruit richness, combining young peach and apricot with white flowers and almond paste. It's round and soothing, yet with a stunning mix of candied lime and saline minerals up front that adds contrast. Sweet inner florals complement ripe pit fruits. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, long and with a salty flair, as it tapers off crunchy, full of tension, yet mouth-watering all the same.
Tangy and bright with sliced green pears and lemons. Honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with brightness and intensity of fruit. Hints of sea salt. 2/6/2023.
The Idda 2021 Sicilia Bianco is all Carricante. The wine is generous and medium-bodied in texture with lots of apricot, Golden Delicious apple and quince. It feels supple on the palate, with pretty fruit weight, and there are citrusy aromas to close. What I like best is the richness of the mouthfeel and the long silky sensations that this volcanic white wine imparts. Drink 2022-2028. Monica Larner, 6/2023.
Sourced from vines in Biancavilla, on Etna's southwest slope between 700-800m, and in Belpasso, on the southern slope between 600-700m, IDDA Bianco is vinified and aged in a combination of stainless steel and 10hl barrels, it has a fine, smoky, flinty nose with wafts of peach, mango and white flowers. In the mouth it's intense and vertical, with juicy sapidity and great acidity defining its edges. Subtly textured and zingy, there's peach, citrus peel, honey, lime juice and white flowers to be found, ending with a gentle stoniness.
