Carricante is the noble indigenous white grape of the Etna volcano in Sicily.

From day one Giuseppe Benanti has nurtured the ambition to demonstrate the enormous potential of the Carricante di Milo. This wine, whose name recalls the volcanic landscape, the flint, the minerality and finally the sapidity of the sea breeze, is now considered one of the most typical, elegant and long-lived whites on the Italian wine scene.
