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

Nestled on the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, the vineyards of Contrada Sciaranuova, Piano Dario, and Rampante in Catania boast terraced landscapes on volcanic sediments. Established between 2004 and 2007 at an elevation of 600 meters above sea level, these vineyards face north, benefiting from optimal sun exposure. Managed with espalier training and spur-pruned cordon systems, approximately 4,500 vines per hectare yield an average of 6.4 tons annually. This meticulous approach, combined with the unique terroir, yields wines that epitomize the distinctive character of Etna, showcasing complexity and finesse.

Vinification

The approach to fermentation is traditional, with the process occurring at a controlled temperature range of 25-30°C degrees Celsius, allowing for the optimal extraction of flavours and tannins from the grape skins. The duration of fermentation is carefully monitored and typically spans about 6 days.

Ageing

At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, full malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is then aged in 25 hl oak casks for 12 months.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red colour. Its olfactory range evokes aromas of red fruits, violets, and undergrowth, mingling with deep sensations of sea salt and dark spices. On the palate, Tasca d’Almerita Ghiaia Nera Etna Rosso is refined and very well-balanced, with pronounced freshness and a subtle tannic texture guiding the progress.
