Discover the grape variety: Carricante

It is most certainly of Italian origin, more precisely from Sicily where it is very present, especially on the slopes of the eastern and southern slopes of Mount Etna. It is thought to be the result of a natural cross between montonico pinto and scacco. It has often been confused with the catarratto even today. Carricante is identified today by two known biotypes, A and B, ... a variety almost unknown in France, but registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A1.
