Tasting Note

This wine is our take on the Nerello Mascalese from young vineyards. There are terraces, surrounded by chestnut and downy oak groves, a typical biodiversity that gives the wines their personality. Soft tannins, good drinkability and freshness. Aged in large oak barrels, an ideal and non- invasive wood for Nerello Mascalese.

Product Notes

Tasca d'Almerita is a winery that has been producing some of the finest wines in Sicily for over two centuries. They are a family-owned business with several vineyards throughout the region that allow them to craft a diverse range of wines with distinct flavor profiles. One of the most exceptional wines produced by Tasca d'Almerita is Tenuta Tascante Ghiaia Nera. This wine is made from the Nerello Mascalese grape, which is grown on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. The result is a deep, ruby-colored wine with a complex aroma of berries, spice, and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a perfect balance of acidity, tannins, and fruit. It is an excellent pairing for grilled meats, pasta dishes, and strong cheeses.

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.
