100% Carricante
IDDA is the joint venture project between Piedmontese icon, Angelo Gaja, and Etna-local Alberto Graci of the iconic Graci family wine estate! This Carricante is like Sicily's white Burgundy, with the class-act balance and open expressiveness that Gaja and Graci are known for. Fermented at a cool temperature to preserve aromatic finesse, it's aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak for 6-9 months, giving toasty, savory accents to the mouthwatering, mineral-tinged fruit character (check out the Vinous Media review)!
VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2023 Bianco demands attention with a beguiling bouquet that mixes crushed rocks, sesame seeds and curry leaves with nectarines and lemon zest. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness contrasted by masses of salty minerals and zesty acidity as ripe orchard fruits cascade throughout. The 2023 tapers off dramatically, long and spicy. A sour citrus tinge forces the mouth to salivate as hints of candied lime and a tart Granny Smith apple concentration slowly fade. In a word, fantastic." - Eric Guido
