Grotte e Vino project
Tasca d’Almerita has launched the ‘Grotte e Vino’ project, which envisages the ageing of 72 bottles of wine inside a nook of the the Grotte della Gurfa.
Tasca d’Almerita, which has always been committed to the enhancement of the territory and its resources, in collaboration with the municipality of Alia has launched the ‘Grotte e Vino’ project, which envisages the ageing of 72 bottles of wine, from typical local varieties, inside a nook of the the Grotte della Gurfa.
Not far from Tenuta Regaleali, the ‘Grotte della Gurfa’ complex is situated in the territory of Alia and rises on the side of a hill. It is an extraordinary complex of rock architecture dug into a red sandstone cliff. This place of great archaeological and landscape beauty has become a symbol of the territory and the local community.
72 bottles of Buonsenso – Catarratto Sicilia Doc 2023 and Guarnaccio – Perricone Sicilia Doc 2022 were selected from Tenuta Regaleali’s wine production.
Here, in a place pervaded by a unique atmosphere, the bottles will be monitored for a year, until October 2025. They will be then sold in a charity auction whose proceeds will be donated to the enhancement of the site by creating the lighting system. At the end of the ageing period, the bottles will be sold in a charity auction, and the proceeds will go towards the construction of a lighting system for the cave.
