Gulfi Carjcanti DOC Sicilia Carricante 2020 Organic 750ml
Sweet almond paste, young peaches, hints of flint and smoke waft up from this wine. Its’ soft texture soothes as a savory display of herbal-tinged orchard fruits and salty minerals wash across the palate. There’s a lovely cut of acidity as this finished with youthful tension revealing hints of hazelnuts and inner florals. Winemaker Description.
Eric Guido writes: Sweet white flowers, crushed raw almonds and smoke waft up from the 2020 Carjcanti. It's round and soothing on the palate, with a measured inner sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Ripe orchard fruits and melon tones settle upon the senses. The 2020 leaves a mineral staining while finishing with admirable length. A crisp green apple hint gradually fades. This is a lovely Carricante from the southeastern reaches of Sicily. Drinking 2023 - 2027. - Vinous 92
Zekun Shuai writes: Oatmeal, cooked lemon, sour cream, hot stones and pomelo. Nicely phenolic on the medium- to full-bodied palate with electric high acidity and a lightly structured and lightly saline finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. - James Suckling 92
