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

Loving this #wine. Light delicate color, water white top. Aromas for days. Briary robust strawberry, baby powder, fine pink rose petals.
Bright lively. Lots of structure. Raspberry, cranberry. Have to search for tannins. Acidity is spot on. Probably the lightest Sicilian i can remember. #winner

Nice but a little clumsy. All the flaws disappeared though, once I introduced it to a big juicy burger :-)

Lighter red with balanced and a smokey earthy taste. Would be great paired with pork steaks or pasta, seafood.

left leaning clay awake, the ceiling fan swing, may and in bed, newspaper print, the sunday edition and a list, one day without you there, my fingers traced along the ridges of the frames, the world was split, i brought us out to kiss in the rain, staid shelter keeps the article pinned to the wall, orange bulb flowering awake, 1045 and blinding, transfer at jamaica

Sep 2nd, 2016Delicious light bodied full flavored wine. Wonderful red fruit and pepper, bracing acidity and smooth tannins. Can drink now if you like things a little edgy, but can definitely improve for several years in the cellar.

The wine seems enriched with elegance that deems any Pinot noir lovers interest . This example of Sicilian wine ; Grape varietal Nerello Mascalese , is beautiful in color, alluring in plum perfume aromas , and reminiscent of light brilliant-red fruits and a terroir driven black olive richness hinted by light cherry oak palate qualities. Pleasantly savoring on the palate. Impressive wine indeed

It opens up after opening. This could be confused for a Pinot but it's a nice light though flavorful red from Sicily. Dark cherries and leather on the nose and finish. It has a few Sangiovese qualities too. Probably best drank in summertime with a hearty salad or olive oil based pasta.
