Carricante Bianco IGT, Why We Love It and Why You'll Too
Just like the Etna Bianco, we first enjoyed the Carricante Bianco IGT 2022 with David at Vinitaly 2024. While the Etna Bianco highlights citrus freshness and easy drinkability, the Carricante impresses with its richer, more mature structure and fuller body. The deeper yellow hue reveals a crunchy palate with notable complexity and a longer saline finish. Yet, it still captures the essence of its volcanic terroir, offering an experience that’s both unique and remarkable. Once again, mission complete!
Massimo Lentsch
Their commitment focuses on artisanal viticulture, meticulously tending to each vine to express all the nuances of a generous and complex soil. They view progress as a tool to preserve and enhance the surrounding nature, maintaining environmental and human richness.
They aim to highlight a millennia-old winemaking tradition that thrives in the extreme conditions of volcanic lands. Their vineyards are true works of art in harmony with nature. Every vine is meticulously cared for, without herbicides or chemicals. In the cellar, only indigenous yeasts are used, and the wine is not clarified, preserving the fruit’s original qualities.
All Massimo Lentsch wines follow organic and vegan protocols, but beyond certifications, the true commitment is to protect the environment and the people living within it. This is the genuine way to respect the land that hosts them.
“I want to convey feelings through wine, those that sometimes cannot be expressed in words.”
