Tasca d’Almerita, located on Sicily’s eastern volcanic edge, is one of the island’s most well known wineries, and yet it’s a relative newcomer to Etna. Founded in the 1800s, it was only in the 2000s that it initiated a project in Etna – one in a line of famous names attracted to Etna by its potential for producing Nerello Mascalese wines of supreme elegance, complexity and ageability.
