Tasca d'Almerita Tascante Sicilia Etna Bianco Buonora 2025

Tasca d'Almerita’s Tascante Sicilia Etna Bianco Buonora 2025 is a striking expression of Carricante from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Fresh, precise, and unmistakably mineral, it captures the early-drinking elegance suggested by its name, "Buonora," while still carrying the depth and character that make Etna wines so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Buonora shows a bright, pale straw color with a vibrant, crystalline sheen. The bouquet is highly expressive and layered, opening with citrus zest, white flowers, and green apple, then moving into the classic Etna signatures of wet stone, flint, saline notes, and subtle hints of sulfur and hydrocarbon. On the palate, it is taut and vertical, with lively acidity and a distinctly mineral core that gives the wine both precision and length. The fruit is fresh and restrained, leaning toward lemon, pear, and delicate orchard notes, while the finish is dry, persistent, and slightly smoky. Although enjoyable in its youth, Carricante can also develop beautifully over time, gaining complexity and texture with a few years in bottle.

Production
Buonora comes from the Etna area in Sicily, where volcanic soils lend the wine its signature mineral tension and savory edge. Carricante has long been grown in the region for its natural acidity and productivity, but today it is valued for its ability to translate the dramatic terroir of Etna into a refined, age-worthy white wine. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve freshness and quality, then vinified with careful temperature control to protect the variety’s aromatic precision and vibrant structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for shellfish, raw seafood, grilled fish, and Mediterranean dishes with herbs, citrus, or olive oil. It also pairs well with light risottos, fresh cheeses, and vegetable-based dishes. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is not necessary unless you want to give the wine a little more room to open in the glass.
