Malta through a glass of fine wine
 
Ta’ Betta – a journey to make fine wines with personality, a quest to put Malta on the wine map.
 
The Maltese islands invite you to travel through time to experience a culture created in a melting pot of many others: from the Phoenicians up until Malta was passed on to the Knights of St. John in 1530. It is at this point that Malta was transformed into a fortified bastion of Christendom. The protagonists, a string of Grand Masters who gave Malta stature and personality.
 
Fast forward to two decades ago: Astrid and Juanito Camilleri welcomed Vincenzo Melia to assist in the creation of Ta’ Betta. Vincenzo was born in Alcamo to a family of vine growers from Trapani, Sicily. In tandem with Bruno Pastana and Diego Planeta, he was instrumental in the setting up of the Istituto Siciliano della Vite e del Vino and worked closely with Giacomo Tachis. Tachis, Vincenzo’s mentor, masterminded the creation of wines like Tignanello and Solaia, as well as the celebrated Sassicaia.
