Contrada Taccione is located in Montelaguardia, Randazzo, on Etna's north side at 690-720 metres above sea level. 80% of the grapes are vinified in stainless steel, while the remaining 20% go into 25 and 50hl French oak barrels. The wines stay in their vessels on the lees for around six months before blending and bottling. Flinty, smoky hints of yellow fruits emanate from the glass like the lingering wisps of gas from Etna, with a hint of apricot skin and floral notes. In the mouth it's intense and saline, pithy and fresh, offering a creamy lemon and peach rendition of north-side Carricante.
