Wines - Tascante estate

TASCANTE BUONORA

Vintage 2014

Historically one of the vineyards used for its acidity and productivity, the Carricante variety

is probably one of the most interesting multi-faceted varieties. Mineral and sulfur notes, hints

of hydrocarbons, even in the younger vintages. It’s the expression of the vertical elements of the

wines of the Volcano. A wine that reflects the nature of the territory it comes from, the Etna

Volcano.
