Buonora 2023 Etna White DOC Tenuta Tascante Tasca d'Almerita

Buonora 2023 Etna Bianco DOC: volcanic freshness signed by Tasca d'Almerita

Buonora 2023 Etna Bianco DOC by Tasca d'Almerita is a Sicilian white wine with a strong identity, made from Carricante and interpreted with a tense, elegant, and territorial style. It originates from the northern slope of Etna, in a context where altitude, fresh exposures, and volcanic soils contribute to defining a clear aromatic profile and a marked mineral imprint. It is a wine that combines precision and verticality, with a dynamic drinkability and a personality very consistent with its territory.

Territory and wine style

The Etna Bianco DOC denomination tells the story of one of the most fascinating wine districts in Italy, and Buonora 2023 directly interprets its freshest and saltiest soul. The grapes come from vineyards located at about 600 meters above sea level, on the northern slope of the volcano, where the cooler climate helps Carricante to ripen slowly, preserving acidity and tasting precision. Vinification in stainless steel and the absence of malolactic fermentation help maintain the wine's tension, while aging on the lees adds a sense of greater completeness and finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a clear and bright color, typical of mountain whites. On the nose, sensations of white fruit, citrus, fine herbs, and a marked mineral imprint emerge, with accents reminiscent of flint and salty nuances. The sip is dry, smooth, and well-supported by vibrant freshness, with a measured but readable structure. The finish is clean, tense, and persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of savoriness and verticality.

Recommended pairings

Buonora 2023 Etna Bianco DOC is well-suited to accompany seafood appetizers, raw fish, tartare, oysters, delicate first courses, and vegetable-based preparations with excellent results. It is also very interesting with baked or grilled fish, seafood risottos, and dishes from Mediterranean cuisine that are not too rich. Its acidity and mineral component make it versatile even with fresh cheeses and light preparations based on white meats.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to enhance Buonora 2023 Etna Bianco DOC is between 10 and 12°C. If served too cold, it risks closing up, while a few minutes in the glass helps to better reveal its aromatic complexity and volcanic imprint. Decanting is not essential, but a brief rest after opening can favor the expression of the bouquet.
