Tascante Ghiaia Nera Nerello Mascalese
Not technically Etna Rosso (100% Nerello Mascalese), but the spirit is there. Lovely floral and mineral expression with serious tannin structure.

Oct 12th, 2018Blackberry, wet humus, olive, crushed rose petals. It's fun to taste wines that sorta act like a Pinot, but wield some pretty fruit/earth/spice balance in different ways, and with sneaky tannins. Damn, son. This is nice.

Bright lively. Lots of structure. Raspberry, cranberry. Have to search for tannins. Acidity is spot on. Probably the lightest Sicilian i can remember. #winner

Strawberry jolly ranchers and volcanos. Just like a good nerello should taste.
