Cellar
Tasca d'Almerita is a Sicilian winery that can boast a long presence in the world of viticulture. The winery's history, rich in traditions, origins and love for its land, began in 1830 with the purchase of the Regaleali estate, from the Arabic "Rahl Alì", the house of Alì, 1,200 hectares in the countryside of Sclafani Bagni, in the centre of Sicily. Today Tasca d'Almerita, the symbol of Sicily's wine-making excellence, cultivates vines on five different estates, all in Sicily - Regaleali, Capofaro, Tascante, Whitaker and Sallier de La Tour - each with its own characteristics. The company produces several high quality wines: four white wines (Regaleali, Leone d'Almerita, Nozze d'Oro and Chardonnay), six red wines (Regaleali Nero d'Avola, Lamùri, Cygnus, Camastra, Rosso del Conte, Cabernet Sauvignon), one rosé (Regaleali Le Rose), one classic method sparkling wine (Almerita) and one sweet wine (Diamante d'Almerita). The Tasca d'Almerita family has focused not only on producing quality wines, but also on respecting the environment to pass on a healthy territory to future generations. It has invested heavily in technological innovation and cultivation techniques.
Description
Historically a grape variety used for its acidity and productivity, Carricante is probably today one of the most interesting varieties with many facets yet to be discovered. Minerality, sulphurous notes, hints of hydrocarbons with ageing. It is an expression of the verticality of Vulcano wines. A wine that reflects the nature of the land from which it comes, Etna. Buonora is a blend of grapes from the various districts of the Tascante Estate located on Etna's northern slope between the municipalities of Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia, with a terrace in Contrada Sciaranuova at an altitude of 600 metres.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow in colour. Of great aromatic intensity on the nose it releases pleasant mineral notes, accompanied by floral and fruity hints. Distinct and pleasant minerality on the palate, which is fresh, fine and elegant.
Storage time:
2-5 years
Vinification
Fermentation for 12 days in steel tanks
