History
Planeta's Carricante from the Sciaranuova estate was introduced in 2010 as the white complement to the Nerello Mascalese red. Carricante on the north slope in the Solicchiata area reflects the volcanic character in a slightly different register from the Milo east-slope Carricante, with a cleaner and more linear citrus style.
