“There's ample complexity here, especially for the price.” - Vinous

The Tenuta Tascante 2024 Etna Bianco ‘Buonora’ is a pure Carricante from the ‘Contrada Feudo’ on the north side of Mount Etna, at 600 metres above sea level, so it gets pretty chilly at night, which is ideal for soliciting extra flavour and aroma from the grapes. The wine shows lots of white-and green-fleshed fruits, some daisy florals and subtle mineral nuances, which plants its flag squarely in the black basalt soil of a living, breathing volcano! Winemaking sees stainless steel only, but with 4 months on the fine lees. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2028.

Press review:

Vinous: “The 2024 Etna Bianco Buonora is a total pleasure to take in, opening with a whiff of sweet smoke and crushed stone, a dusting of confectioner's spice and notes of freshly sliced peach. It's round and playful in style with zesty acidity and crisp orchard fruits that pepper the palate with crunchy tension. Sour citrus puckers the cheeks as a resonance of candied lime lingers on and on. The 2024 aims to please. There's ample complexity here, especially for the price. Drink now-2030.” 91 points
