The Divine Encounter Between Volcano Vineyards and the Art of Brewing
On the slopes of Mount Etna, the boundary between the winery and the brewery dissolves. Randağ, created by Turi Eccellenze dell'Etna, is much more than a beverage: it is a manifesto of agricultural sustainability and love for the territory. Belonging to the noble IGA (Italian Grape Ale) style, this amber beer is born from the virtuous recovery of must and pressed grapes, combining the bitter freshness of hops with the ancestral and fruity elegance of volcanic grapes.
Ingredients and Taste Analysis
- 🍇 The Nerello Mascalese Touch: The premier indigenous grape variety of Etna yields its character during fermentation, providing an unexpected perception of ripe red fruit and a light, elegant astringency (tannic quality) on the finish.
- 🍯 Roasting and Honey: The skillful blend of malts creates a robust backbone and a brilliant amber color, from which warm sensations of toasted barley, carob, and sweet honeyed notes emerge.
- 🌋 Flowers of the Volcano: On the nose, it opens into a complex olfactory bouquet that recalls the Mediterranean scrub, with distinct hints of yellow flowers like the fragrant Etnean broom.
- 🌱 Sustainable Synergy: A production process that enhances every element of the harvest, creating a hybrid beverage where the world of beer and the world of wine dance in perfect balance.

🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:
Randağ is a complex beer that, at the table, behaves almost like a young red wine. The most serious mistake you can make is to serve it ice-cold: the cold kills the hints of carob and paralyzes the delicate grape tannins, making the drink taste metallic. Bring it to about 10-12°C in a large glass, such as a balloon or TEKU. For a connoisseur's pairing, try it with a well-aged Caciocavallo Ragusano PDO or a mixed grill: the light tannic component released by the Nerello Mascalese will "cleanse" the palate of fats exactly as a wine from our mountain would.

Quick FAQs
What exactly is an IGA beer?
The Italian Grape Ale is the only beer style officially recognized as "Italian" at an international level. It involves the addition of grapes (in the form of must, pomace, or whole grapes) during the brewing stages, creating a fascinating bridge with oenology.
Does it taste like beer or wine?
It remains a beer in every respect! However, the infusion of Nerello Mascalese enriches its structure, giving it wine-like notes, aromas of red fruits, and a slight astringent sensation on the finish that makes it an exceptional gastronomic product for any meal.
