| Comments |
Catarrato (bianco) is frequently mistaken for Carricante and Catarrato is erroneously used as a synonym name for the Carricante variety. Calo et al, Vitigni d'Italia, p. 252 (2001); Robinson et al., WINE GRAPES, page 195 (2012). Carricante is a distinctive white wine grape from Sicily with the potential for fine wine. |
