The Benanti family begins to produce its wines at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1988, Giuseppe decides to resume the ancient family activities, selecting the best lands for the cultivation of the vine, and using the most advanced technological tools for the vinification of grapes. The wines produced are of high quality, and the demand from the market is very high both in Italy and abroad.
The company is located on the outskirts of Randazzo, on the north side of Etna.
Tasca d’Almerita now cultivates about 600 hectares of vineyards and enhances the fruit distributing it over the four continents of the world. It welcomes with dedication the guests of two of the most beautiful Resorts in Sicily and enhances each of the five Estates of the company. More than seventy men in the company, along with 200 others who follow the pace of the seasons on the five estates, with the dedication of those who have been doing it for many years. Tasca d’Almerita is not in a hurry. Because to respect the cultivated land means giving it the time of breath, which is not as fast as the human one. Because to offer hospitality in charming places means to gain the Oriental respect of the times of man and of the earth.
Over the past decade Tasca acquired the Estate of Capofaro in Salina in the Aeolian Islands, intersecting the production of Malvasia with the hospitality of the Resort. It has decided to plant also on Etna, with the Tascante project, and has expanded its action also on Marsala in joint venture with the Whitaker Foundation and on Monreale, with Sallier de La Tour. New ways of organizing the making of Made in Sicily products, not only with the full control of the supply chain, but with the cooperation of other entrepreneurs. A modern history especially of men, conducted with a large temporal vision.
Because true success, that lasts, is the result of man in time.
And Tasca d’Almerita gives life to time.
The vineyards of Etna grow on sandy soils of volcanic origin, rich in texture. This viticultural district was also known by the civilizations of the past, given the ancient origins of viticulture in the area. We have news from the poet Theocritus in the third century BC and further confirmation from a few coins of the fifth century BC that have come down to us.
Etna was the first designation of origin to obtain this recognition. The Doc Etna, effectively, has been recognized with DPR of 11.08.1968 published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale on 25.09.1968. The specification, moreover, remained intact since its drafting, maintaining the prediction of the native vines of the volcano unchanged, for the production of Etna DOC in its different types Rosso, Rosato, Bianco and Bianco Superiore.
The production area of the designation of origin covers part of the territory of the municipalities of Aci, Sant’Antonio, Acireale, Belpasso, Biancavilla, Castiglione di Sicilia, Giarre, Linguaglossa, Mascali, Milo, Nicolosi, Patern, Pedara, Piedimonte Etneo, Randazzo, Sant’Alfio, Santa Maria di Licodia, Santa Venerina, Trecastagni, Viagrande and Zafferana Etnea, on the slopes of Etna, in the Province of Catania
