Valcerasa - Carricante Terre Siciliane

Valcerasa, a winery nestled on the slopes of Mount Etna, is renowned for its dedication to producing wines that reflect the unique volcanic terroir of the region. The Carricante Bonaccorsi is crafted from Carricante grapes grown in the mineral-rich, volcanic soils of Etna. The winery, led mainly by Alice Bonaccorsi, alongside her husband, with a deep passion for winemaking, ensures that the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A small part of the must ferments on the skins and is subsequently combined with the rest, enriching the wine with complexity and depth. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, helping to make the wine softer and rounder. The result is a wine with vibrant acidity, crisp structure, and a touch of minerality.
Valcerasa’s commitment to sustainable farming and traditional winemaking techniques ensures that each bottle of Carricante Bonaccorsi is a true representation of Etna’s potential.
