Cracking open the Gulfi Carjcanti 2019 is like letting a crisp breeze into the room. The nose dives into green apple and white flowers, before hitting a chalkboard and scattering shells around. On the palate, it's a mineral spring that's been charged to precision, teetering on the edge of perfect balance. It doesn't scream for attention but rather, lays down a sophisticated, nuanced trail. Fresh, mineral, and articulate without being a show-off.
Gulfi makes a wonderful Carricante that can easily outperform many Etna wines. It is fresh, mineral and nuanced. Green apple, white flowers and shells. Mineral and fresh mouthfeel. Precise and almost perfectly balanced.
Tasting together with 2017 and 2015. The youngest vintage is fresh, mineral and detailed. Green apple, quince, apple blossoms and shells. The marine notes reveal themselves more on the palate. Precise, fresh and well-balanced. Great acidity. Incredible value.
