Producer Information

At Cortese, they produce wine in the most traditional and natural way to reflect the true character of the estate’s terroir and its grape varieties. Taking tradition as their inspiration, they started to employ ancient wine-making techniques such as fermentation in terracotta. The resulting wines reflect the combination of modern technology and traditional techniques, with every nuance of the terroir showing through.

Wine Making

The vinification of Carricante is carried out on the principle of minimum intervention in order to achieve maximum quality in the finished wine. Grapes are de-stemmed and very softly pressed with a pneumatic press. The must is decanted at low temperature for about 48 hours before staring the fermentation, which is carried out at 17-19C° for about 20 days. When the fermentation is finished the wine is racked and kept on fine lees for at least 5 months.

Tasting Note

Peach, apple and citrus fruits aromas, with excellent acidity, minerality and structure.

Food Matching

Nostru Carricante is the perfect accompaniment to a seafood menu: seafood antipasti, then crab linguine, followed by grilled fish.
