Carricante DOC Sicilia 2021

This wine borns among limestone rocks in the Alto Belice Corleonese, in a natural theater of unique atmospheres, including freestanding system vines, buzzard overflights, and unforgettable sunsets.

It is dedicated to the cultural and entertainment workers who have lavished their efforts to combat the mafia anti-culture, spreading messages of civility, respect, and much beauty.
