Calabretta, Terre Siciliane IGT (Sicily, Italy) Carricante 2022

Oct 24, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 Calabretta has only been estate bottling since 1997; however, the family has been farming vines on Mount Etna for generations.  That depth of their experience translates to the glass.  The 2022 Calabretta Carricante hits that beautiful intersection between savory salinity and citrus.  It expresses exuberant acidity that electrifies the palate and is tempered by notes of Meyer lemon, crisp pear, tangerine peel, and intense minerality.  Pair this Sicilian gem with arancini for pure delight.
