Welcome to episode 1431, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie sits down with Alberto Tasca of Tasca D’almerita winery at the Estate Regaleali, in the heart of Sicily . More about today’s guest: Eight generations of Sicilian winemaking history. Alberto Tasca d'Almerita , born in 1971, is the CEO of Tasca d'Almerita . Dynamic winegrower, father of 3 children and married to Francesca Borghese, he divides his time between the vineyards on the hills and those on Etna and on the small islands of Sicily, in search of always different territorial expressions to enhance and tell. Driven by his great love for Sicily and the need to protect the land where he lives and works, in 2010 Alberto embraced a new project, SOStain – Sustainability in Sicilian viticulture, a protocol recognized by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, which has become the compass in Sicily for all winemakers looking to measure and reduce their impact on the ecosystem. Since 2020 he has been President of the SOStain Sicilia Foundation, which has the task of promoting sustainable viticulture in Sicily, to encourage the sharing of good practices aimed at respecting the ecosystem. Convinced that the road must be traveled together, to make the strength of Sicilian enology ever greater in the world, he decided to join the directorate of the Consorzio Sicilia Doc and of Assovini Sicilia. He is also Vice President of the Istituto del Vino Italiano di Qualità , Grandi Marchi , a reality that promotes the culture and quality of Italian wines.
