HISTORY
This Sicilian white wine comes from Chardonnay grapes located in a small vineyard of Tenuta Tascante, one of the many estates of the Tasca d'Almerita family.
In this white wine the Tasca d'Almerita family has succeeded in yet another attempt to confirm itself as a very innovative winery, which has managed to vinify the most celebrated international grape variety on the slopes of Etna: Chardonnay
Few bottles of this wine have been produced, around 5000, all aged in French oak by Chassin, a small family cooperage.
