Tenuta Tascante Etna Bianco Buonora 2025

Tenuta Tascante Buonora is a pure Carricante white from Sicily’s volcanic Mount Etna, offering a vivid expression of the grape’s naturally high acidity and mineral character. Once valued mainly for its productivity and freshness, Carricante is now recognised as one of Italy’s most distinctive and versatile white-wine varieties. The name Buonora means “early”, reflecting the wine’s bright, energetic style and its connection to Etna’s unique landscape.

Tasting Notes
Pale and luminous in appearance, Buonora opens with a fresh, mineral-led nose. Citrus fruit, subtle floral nuances and distinctive volcanic notes are complemented by hints of sulphur and hydrocarbons—characteristics that can appear even in young Carricante wines and add complexity rather than heaviness. On the palate, the wine is taut, precise and refreshing, driven by lively acidity and a pronounced mineral character. Its structure has a distinctly vertical feel, carrying the flavours through a long, clean finish. Although approachable in its youth, the wine’s acidity and volcanic profile should allow it to develop added depth and nuance with bottle age.

Production
Buonora expresses the character of Etna, where vineyards are shaped by volcanic soils and the mountain’s distinctive elevations and climate. Carricante is particularly well suited to this environment, retaining freshness while developing aromatic complexity. Specific details regarding harvesting methods and vinification for the 2025 vintage have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve Buonora well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C, alongside grilled or baked fish, shellfish, seafood pasta, fresh cheeses and light vegetable dishes. Its pronounced acidity also makes it a natural partner for richer seafood preparations and dishes featuring lemon or herbs. Decanting is not generally necessary; however, allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help its mineral and volcanic nuances emerge.

Producer
Tasca d’Almerita is one of Sicily’s best-known wine producers, with a long-standing history of championing the island’s diverse terroirs and native grape varieties. Through Tenuta Tascante, the estate focuses on the distinctive conditions of Mount Etna, producing wines that reflect the altitude, volcanic soils and dramatic character of the region. Buonora is a refined example of the estate’s work with Carricante and of Etna’s growing importance among Italy’s leading regions for age-worthy white wines.
