background
Tenuta Tascante is part of the Tasca d'Almerita family estate, one of Sicily's most prestigious wine families with over 200 years of winemaking history. The winery is located on the slopes of Mount Etna, where they produce wines from indigenous Sicilian grape varieties grown in volcanic soils. Ghiaia Nera, meaning 'black gravel,' refers to the characteristic volcanic stones found in Etna's terroir. The estate focuses on expressing the unique minerality and character that comes from vines grown in this active volcanic environment.
