About the Producer

Tasca D'Almerita has a rich history dating back to 1830 on the Regaleali Estate, which has become the symbol of wine-making excellence in Sicily: 200 years of history, all with “slow maturation.” With a focus on traditional values and traditions, the winery has expanded over time to cover 550 hectares. Five different estates scattered throughout Sicily were subsequently added. These estates include the Tascante estate on the slopes of Mount Etna, the Capofaro Estate on the hills of the Aeolian island of Salina, the Sallier de La Tour estate in Camporeale, and the Whitaker Estate on the Phoenician island of Mozia.

The Tasca family has always been dedicated to wine production, and they view it not only as a business success but as an ethical and environmentally sustainable pursuit. Their goal is to produce wine with the lowest possible environmental impact and preserve each ecosystem for future generations. The production of wine takes place on the different estates throughout Sicily, where vineyards are dedicated to producing Malvasia, Nerello Mascalese, Syrah, Grillo, Chardonnay, and Cabernet di Sicilia. Grillo has received particular recognition as one of the most outstanding wine varieties in the world, earning the prestigious 'Cantina dell'anno 2012' award from Gambero Rosso's 'Vini d'Italia' guide. The winery's constant attention to preserving the environment and its millenary traditions has led to its continued success and expansion.

Vineyard

Situated on the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Castiglione di Sicilia and Milo, Catania, this vineyard, at 600 meters above sea level, benefits from unique volcanic soil and altitude, imparting distinct characteristics to its grapes. Planted in 2000, the north-facing orientation aids in gradual ripening and acidity preservation. Meticulously trained using espalier and guyot pruning systems, the vines thrive with optimal sun exposure and airflow, resulting in even grape development. With 5,000 vines per hectare, the vineyard achieves a balanced density, yielding an average of 7.2 tons per hectare, highlighting its exceptional quality and productivity in the shadow of Mount Etna.

Vinification

Crushing, de-stemming, soft pressing and static settling. The clear must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of between 16-18°C for about 12 days.

Ageing

At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, no malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is allowed to the rest on the lees for about 4 months before being racked, stabilized and then bottled.

Tasting Notes

Tasca d’Almerita Buonora Etna Bianco is bright and luminous light yellow. The olfactory profile is elegant and sharp, with scents of lemon zest, citrus fragrances, honeydew melon, white-fleshed fruit, hints of orange blossom, and subtle notes of flint. The palate is tense and vertical, characterized by a lively citrusy and saline momentum, rushing towards a closure of vibrant mineral freshness.

Analysis
