Shanken News Daily announced that Tommasi Family Estates has expanded its portfolio with Ammura, an exciting new estate on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Nestled at 570 meters above sea level in the Etna Natural Park, Ammura lies at the intersection of volcanic power and Mediterranean breeze, in a landscape as dramatic as it is fertile. Ammura will be launching in the New York market this May.
The announcement highlights the two inaugural wines under the Ammura label, an Etna Rosso DOC (100% Nerello Mascalese) and Etna Bianco DOC (100% Carricante). It also speaks to the Tommasi family’s impressive holdings following this acquisition, totaling 799 hectares of vineyards and eight wine estates across seven regions—Tommasi in Veneto, Tenuta di Caseo in Lombardy, Casisano in Montalcino, Poggio al Tufo in Maremma Toscana, Masseria Surani in Puglia, Paternoster in Basilicata, a project in Orvieto, Umbria, and Ammura on Mount Etna—along partnerships in Chianti Classico with La Massa and in Friuli Venezia Giulia’s Collio with Marco Felluga Russiz Superiore.
