Tascante Contrada Rampante

Mt Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, is situated on the eastern side of Sicily and is home to some of Italy’s most dramatic wine landscapes. The Etna DOC is divided into 132 Contrade, or wine districts. Each Contrada is characterized by its soil components and the age of the lava formations in the vineyards.


Tasca works in four Contrade located on the northern side of Mt. Etna. Contrada Rampante is located between Passopisciaro and Randazzo and is a 4.28 ha vineyard that has large dry-stone wall terraces at an average slope of 4.7% with volcanic formations that date from 4,000 – 15,000 years ago.
