Importer notes: "Filippo Grasso is a small family owned winery on the north side of Mount Etna in Sicily. The current generation is the 4th generation of winemakers and they have been bottling their own wine since 2006. They are located on the Contrada Caladera, and have six hectares planted to indigenous Etna grapes. The 'Carrico 68.8' is comprised of Carricante, Catarratto, Minello Bianca, and Grecanico. It has a nose of white stone fruit and flowers, with a minerally and pleasantly bright palate. Alcohol 12.5%."
Not yet reviewed; 2018 vintage rated 91 points by Wine & Spirits: "Carrico refers to an old unit of measurement used by Etna farmers and traders that was equal to 68.8 liters, and this wine harkens back to the days when varieties mingled in the fields. A blend of carricante, catarratto, minella bianca and grecanico grown on Etna’s north slope, the wine feels earthy and rustic, its flavors of crushed apple and lemon oil seasoned by notes of thyme and sage."
