The 2006 Carjcanti (Carricante, Albanello) is a racy, generous white. It opens with explosive aromatics that meld into ripe yellow apricots and peaches, with underlying notes of smoke and toasted oak that add complexity. This expansive white is best enjoyed over the next few years Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
Gulfi is one of my favorite sources for Nero d’Avolas loaded with personality. These two entry-level wines are good introduction to the house’s bold style.
