This Carricante blend is still drinking very well and reminds me of the better Carricantes we had in Sicily a couple of weeks ago. It has really nice fruit and is very well balanced, with racy acidity and nice minerality on the finish. It is drinking well now but does not show any signs of aging.

From the wine list at Marta (NYC). 90% Carricante, 5% Grecanico, 5% Minnella. Opens with yellow stone fruit and a waxy texture but finishes strongly with sea salt and minerals. Interesting - but perhaps not a wine that would appeal broadly.

Delicious. Salty, balanced but high acidity, stony minerality. Really playful. Like a good chablis. One of the best of this bottling I've had from Custodi/Foti. Great now but probably even better in a year or two when it's settled a bit.

Almost salty. Very interesting savoury white wine.
{12.5%, cork} They really ought to bottle this under screwcap.
