Tasting Note

Historically one of the vineyards used for its acidity and productivity, the Carricante variety is probably one of the most interesting multi-faceted varieties. Mineral and sulfur notes, hints of hydrocarbons, even in the younger vintages. It’s the expression of the vertical elements of the wines of the Volcano. A wine that reflects the nature of the territory it comes from, the Etna Volcano.

About the Winery

Tasca d’Almerita - Tenuta Tascante

The history of the Italian wine estate Tasca d’Almerita’s history dates back to 1830. In this year, the brothers, Lucio and Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca purchased 1200 hectares of area located in the Regaleali Contrada in Sicily. The brothers introduced novel agricultural technologies in this farm, as a result of which, it was named a “model farm” of those times. In the 1890s, the vineyards of Tasca family witnessed a huge destruction because of the phylloxera pandemic. Therefore, a nursery was created at Villa Camastra to graft grapevines on healthy soils.
