SANT’ANDREA

Carricante IGT

Sant’Andrea is a wine that represents a celebration of Carricante, from an ancient vineyard. Its extremely limited production is the result of a selection of pre-phylloxera vines, some of which have reached the age of 150 years. These vines are grown in the Milo vineyard in the Contrada Caselle at 850 meters above sea level, on deep sandy soils. The direct exposure to the sea and the influence of the Valle del Bove characterize the microclimate of this vineyard, making it a perfect area for Carricante. The vinification is unusual: after a long maceration on the skins in a 2,000-litre oak barrel, the wine rests in the bottle for two and a half years before release. The result is a wine that offers a broad olfactory range, with varietal references and suggestions of Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth, it is taut, silky and layered. Wine with long aging potential.
