The Tanca Nica R Contrada Rukia 2023 is a red wine from the volcanic terrains of Mount Etna in Sicily, primarily crafted from the indigenous Nerello Mascalese grape, often accompanied by Nerello Cappuccio. Tanca Nica, a relatively new producer, is notable for its commitment to low-intervention winemaking, relying on ancient, ungrafted vines grown on high-altitude, volcanic soils. The 2023 vintage is marked by healthy grape conditions, resulting in a wine displaying red berry aromas, volcanic minerality, and subtle herbal notes. Expect a structured palate characterised by firm tannins and bright acidity, exemplifying the distinct terroir of Etna.
