With fruit from a vineyard planted on the so-called "new lava flow" (with volcanic flows dating from 40,000 to 4,000 years ago), the Tenuta Tascante 2019 Etna Rosso Contrada Sciaranuova offers a unique set of aromas over a beautiful, luminous and shiny appearance. The volcanic character of the wine is on full display, and you sense campfire ash, flint, iron ore and wild rose. Sciaranuova is slightly darker (compared to the Contrada Pianodario, but only by a hair), and the aromas veer to the mineral side of the equation. There is also more structure and grit in terms of mouthfeel, which will accompany this wine over its aging trajectory. Production is 5,700 bottles. ... More details

Aromas of red cherries, sliced strawberries and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with subtle concentration that expresses an array of fresh black and red berries across the palate. Silky tannins. Fresh. Drink or hold.

Rated 92 by Vinous Media
The 2019 Etna Rosso Contrada Sciaranuova is darkly alluring yet perfumed, showing cedar and wild herbs giving way to crushed black cherries. This is elegant and refined, with polished red and blue berry fruits carried across a core of vibrant acidity as fine-grained tannins slowly mount toward the close. It leaves a slight balsamic tinge to linger while tapering off lightly structured and with medium length as echoes of licorice fade.
Winery
Sciaranuova, one of the four contrade (districts) in which we live and work, is located at an average elevation of 730 meters a.s.l., between Montelaguardia and Passopisciaro. Spanning 14.40 hectares, 4.9 hectares of which are vineyards, and characterized by terraces with dry stone walls and over 7 hectares of chestnut groves.

Region: Sicily

There are few wine regions in the world with such an ideal terroir and climate for viticulture as that found on Sicily. This Italian island has been an important center for wine production for several thousand years, with experts claiming that the ancient Greeks were the first to bring wine-making techniques to the island. The almost year-round sunshine and rich, fertile volcanic soil of Sicily makes the vintner's jobs very easy, and grapevines thrive and flourish more or less everywhere on the island. Sicily is widely renowned for its excellent sweet dessert wines, and for fortified wines such as Marsala, yet the popularity of their dry red and white produce is ever rising, thanks to their drinkability and fantastic fruit flavors which really manage to put across the sunny, almost tropical nature of the island they are grown on.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
