Etna Rosso DOC Tascante Contrada Sciaranuova V.V. 2020 Tasca d'Almerita

The Etna Rosso Vigna Vecchia by Tasca d'Almerita is produced at the Tenuta Tascante, in Contrada Sciaranuova, on the northern slope of Etna, in the municipality of Randazzo. The vineyards, planted at an altitude of 730 meters on terraced volcanic soils, benefit from a northern exposure and a unique soil formed between 40,000 and 4,000 years ago, which contributes to the mineral and territorial identity of the Nerello Mascalese cultivated in this area.

The vinification involves a traditional red fermentation at temperatures between 25 and 30 °C for a period of eight days. After fully completed malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for twelve months in Slavonian oak barrels, a process that enriches its structure while preserving its expressive elegance.

In the glass, it shows a brilliant ruby color. The nose offers refined aromas of cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and light spices, while on the palate, it displays a fine tannic texture, good freshness, and a long-lasting taste that recalls its volcanic origin.

Perfect with roasted or stewed red meats, such as beef stew or oven-baked lamb with aromatic herbs.
