Founded 2007. The Tasca family has made wine in Sicily for centuries. Alberto Tasca discovered Etna while on holiday, stopping to buy local sfuso. In 2006 he made wine from south-slope Nerello grapes — promising but something was missing. The following year, north-slope Nerello produced an elusive, austere wine: exactly what he remembered. The company then bought and restored 99 terraces in Piano Dario, left to nature for decades — two years to organize, four more to establish a house style. First micro-fermentations studied soil type, aspect, and vine age across north, south, and east slopes. In 2016, settled on the north slope with additional vineyard and winery purchase in lower Contrada Rampante. 14 hectares across four contrade: Rampante, Piano Dario, Sciara Nuova, and Crasa. Vine training: alberello and cordon. Produces 80,000 bottles annually. Visits by request only. Wines to try: Buonora Etna Bianco, Tascante Chardonnay, Tascante Etna Rosso.
