Tascante - Etna Rosso Ghiaia Nera 2020 (750ml)

Tascante Etna Rosso Ghiaia Nera 2020

Served @ DBFW's "Wines of Sicily" Tasting

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Ghiaia Nera is Tenuta Tascante’s demonstration of the possibilities for Nerello Mascalese from black volcanic soils. The name means “black gravel,” which describes the volcanic soil of the vineyard Subtle aromas of orange peel, cherries, and dried flowers follow through to a medium body, fine tannins and a refined, subtle finish. Aged in 25hl oak cask for 12 months.

Aromas of baked black cherry, charred rosemary and dried rose. Medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Smoky and pleasantly savory on the palate. I like the lingering finish here. Delicious. Drink or hold.
