Linea Retta Terre Siciliane IGT Carricante 2021
Linea Retta Terre Siciliane IGT Carricante 2021
Luminous golden yellow with intense and aromatic tropical fruits on the nose. The unique combination of white fruits and minerals shape a long and clean finish.
2021 started with a mild winter with no snow in the lower vineyards. Then we had a few days of frost in March, followed by a dry summer. Green harvest was deliberately extreme to help the vines breathe better and suffer less during the drought. Yields are low, as expected, with high sugar and bright acidity. The wines have grip, texture and personality.

Linea Retta is a winemaking collaboration between two renowned winemakers: Italy’s Giorgio Rivetti and Australia’s Larry Cherubino.
The name ‘Linea Retta’ (an Italian expression that can be translated as ‘in a direct line’) refers to their shared ‘vineyard first’ winemaking philosophies. Larry love’s of Italy in particular the wines of Piedmont meant that when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Giorgio he could not resist. “I have admired Giorgio’s wines from the first time I was introduced to ‘Pin’ in London almost 20 years ago and never thought I would be working with the man himself, so I feel incredibly lucky!” Linea Retta is the result.
