Masca del Tacco
Puglia Susumaniello
Puglia, Italy
Little known red wine grape from Puglia, So. Italy, grown around Salice Salento area, ranking among one of the world’s rarest wine grapes. Very dark deep Ruby red color, to me one of the darkest I have seen, aromas of red fruits, herbs, tobacco and floral notes, vinified in stainless, short aging in steel and wood. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and cherry with tobacco and lively herbs. Fine soft drying tannins, medium+ finish ending with ripe fruit and tobacco herb character. Try if you stumble across one!

Super ripe expression in an Ozzie Shiraz-sort of way. It’s dark and has an overarching sweet core that is too much for me.

Folks, this is a TJs wine find par excellence. This is *the* best wine you will find at $10 and under. My goodness. Rich but restrained. Black currants, plum, clove. So balanced right out of the bottle. Highly recommended.

Outstanding. If blind I would swear it was a top Amarone.

Nose: dark fruits, blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry. Tiny dash of licorice, maybe tobacco. Maybe some currant. Nice! Taste: smooth, a little sweet, distinct tobacco. This isn’t bad at all!!! This is actually really solid for the price (can’t quite remember, but looking online I think it was about $10). I will try this again! 88-89.

Cool bottle. Short and fat. Smells like good berries. Raspberry. Flavors are ripe. Too much fruit. Syrup over true fruit. It’s ok. But not my style.
