Description

From the Tasca family’s ambitious Etna project comes Ghiaia Nera, a pure Nerello Mascalese grown on the volcanic slopes of Sicily’s most revered terroir. The name means “black gravel,” a nod to the lava-strewn soils that define this elegant, mineral-driven red. Tascante is Tasca d’Almerita’s expression of Mount Etna—combining historic winemaking know-how with the mountain’s unique energy.

Review:A very pretty, perfumed, young Etna rosso with plenty of fresh flowers, focus and finesse. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins and a long, bright finish. Best ever? Drink now or hold.
