Tasting Notes:

The Tasca Tascante Contrada Pianodario Nerello Mascalese 2019 is an exquisite expression of Sicily's volcanic terroir, offering a unique balance of sweet and savory notes. On the nose, the wine offers a fragrant bouquet of ripe strawberries and delicate floral undertones, typical of Nerello Mascalese. On the palate, fresh, juicy strawberry fruit flavours lead the way, followed by a lively seam of acidity that provides structure without overpowering the wine's natural elegance. The wine’s firm tannins give it a solid framework, ensuring a smooth finish that is both complex and satisfying.

This wine comes from the North slopes of Mount Etna, specifically the Contrada Pianodario vineyard in Randazzo, Catania. The soils here are rich in volcanic ash, formed over millennia by eruptions dating back 15,000 to 4,000 years ago. The volcanic composition of the land imparts a distinctive minerality and depth to the wine, offering a clear reflection of the region's unique geological heritage.

Winery	The large Regaleali estate, high in the central Sicilian hills, has been in the hands of the noble Tasca family since 1830. Ever since, the property has been run according to the best principles of the agricultural aristocracy: with one eye firmly on quality and the other on experimentation. Tasca’s large range is the product of the family’s most successful innovations, including short pruning for lower yields, the championing of local Inzolia and Nero d’Avola vines, the introduction of French varieties, and the use of barriques and temperature control. They have also been developing vineyards outside their main base at Regaleali. There is wonderful passito Malvasia made on the Aeolian island of Salina, and more recently, the family established their Tascante estate on the north-facing slopes of Mount Etna. The tradition and terroir of each location are captured with great clarity in the bottle. This is a singularly accomplished and increasingly complete range of Sicilian wines.
