There are 10 units left in stock.
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2024 Buonora is Tenuta Tascante’s Etna Bianco, made from 100% Carricante grown on the northern slope of Mount Etna, in the Contrada Montedolce and Sciaranuova–Montelaguardia area. The vineyards sit at approximately 600 meters above sea level on volcanic soils. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, and aged for four months on the lees in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out.
Pale straw in color, the wine has a silky texture and rounded, medium-bodied palate, with notes of fresh melon, citrus blossom, tarragon, white pepper and wet stone. Its freshness and mineral character make it a natural match for seafood, crudo, shellfish and fresh cheeses. At 12.5% ABV, serve chilled at 10–12°C.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Tenuta Tascante is Tasca d’Almerita’s estate on Mount Etna, established in 2007 by the Tasca family. The project explores the volcanic slopes through native varieties, especially Carricante for its white wines and Nerello Mascalese for its reds. High-altitude vineyards, volcanic soils and careful cellar work give the wines a distinctive expression of Etna.
