Belonging to the prestigious Etna Rosso appellation, it stands out for its vertical and austere character, with a palate dominated by \u003cstrong\u003efine, silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a vibrant acidity. The aromatic profile intertwines hints of red fruits, floral notes of violet and rose, and a deep \u003cstrong\u003esmoky minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel and subsequent ageing in large oak barrels, preserving the finesse and structural complexity of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is born in Sicily, on the northern slope of Mount Etna, specifically within the renowned Contrada Pianodario in the municipality of Randazzo. The vineyard extends to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e775 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e and is divided into 99 small terraces, characterised by soils rich in \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic ash\u003c\/strong\u003e and pure obsidian. The local climatic conditions benefit from strong ventilation and wide \u003cstrong\u003etemperature ranges\u003c\/strong\u003e, factors that lead to slow ripening and give the bunches a savoury character and well-balanced acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003elate harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out around the first days of November to accommodate the slow ripening of the grapes at altitude. Once in the cellar, the must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allows for the extraction and preservation of varietal aromas. Subsequently, the wine is transferred for maturation in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it rests for 12 months, completing its refinement and acquiring further stability and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tasca d'Almerita 2020 Tenuta Tascante Etna Rosso Contrada Pianodario boasts unique historical characteristics. It comes to life on the northern slope of the volcano from an evocative vineyard at 775 metres above sea level, incredibly divided into \u003cstrong\u003e99 small terraces\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its volcanic soil is enriched by a fascinating detail: pure \u003cstrong\u003eobsidian\u003c\/strong\u003e. The high altitude slows down the ripening of the grapes, requiring a rare late harvest in November.
